The wonderer

first and only try at a non-rhyming poem

The wonderer

I had been walking for hours 

The night sky was as dull as the day’s events

I woke up in a mess I had no intention of cleaning

For I had no intentions

I followed a loose routine: breakfast, shower, TV

Not in the exact order but all three where accomplished every morning

I left the house for a packet of cigarettes only to return once more

Lunch, Facebook, Xbox most actions where done in three's 

I had to walk the dogs leaving my safe haven once again

I lost track of time but time wasn’t important any more

Returning to my home I noticed the sun was setting

Where had the day gone

I sat at my computer to add a few final words to a poem I was currently writing

3 lines

The time escaped me once more

The sky was black

Frustration

I left the house eager to fulfil the need for something different

The night sky was as dull as the day’s event

No clouds only smog

No stars only smog

The new moon shined vacantly

Street lights lit my path

The remnants of the rain softened the ground

Time had become unimportant

I walked and I walked

I walked some more

With no destination I felt free

The journey had no meaning

The journey had no end

I stopped, looked back and saw how far I had gone

The further from home was the more at home I felt

I continued my journey

Looking at the sky I could tell I was blind to the truth

My feet were aching

Yet I continued

My legs were stiff

Yet I continued

With a clear mind I could see the world

I thought about my actions

I thought about my past

I though about the unimportant time

I ran I jogged I stopped

 I caught my breath

 What was I running from?

 Or was I running to it?

 i looked up at the sky

 the smog had cleared

 The moon was still vacant

 But the stars lit the void in its stead

 With this view in mind I returned home

 I rested my head

 I awoke the day’s events would be as meaning full as the nights clear sky
