The Lonely Traveler

Long and winding
forever grinding
hot and cold
never old

Cruisin along with some place to go
freezing through slush and over snow
some place in the wild
sometimes lost, like a child

Love
Fear
Hope
Pain

Love for the freedom
all by yourself

Fear of the lonliness
stepping out to help

Hope for the drive
to be safe and over soon

Pain of sacrifice
of not having a room

Love
Fear
Hope
Pain


this curse with no cure
this self flagelation
a glutton for punishment
all for self realization

The need to be alone
The need to be free
What do I seek in solitude?
Am I finding me?

    this was the first of your many brilliant pieces of you that i have read, it was way back in december i believe. right after you left. It set a certain view of you in my mind. But over time, just like your writing, it is slowly changing.

    Well yes, I do believe I remember this poem Will... You know you are a good writer. I still dunno how you do the rhyming that quickly (sigh) some day you will have to show me how to do that.
    Or hell, I will ask your step mom to teach me- I give up!
