vagabond

a vagabond's heart 

did what it pleased 

silently drifting 

empty of needs 

reveling in pleasure

repenting the pain 

but it all closes in 

nothing is gained 

hitting a stone wall 

you slip as you climb 

asking the same questions 

time after time 

the answers you sought 

burn way down deep 

a spirit lost in shadow 

trying to break free 

let the cleansing come 

let the rain pour down 

let me ease your pain 

as the sorrow drowns

let redemption cloak

let your spirit mend 

let your soul wrap around 

the heart of a friend
