Vagrant

 

He wanders lonely free and proud

Across the fields, avoids the crowd

Though woodlands and the pastures deep

Searching for some place to sleep

A barn where he can make his bed

To rest his tired and aching head

A spot where he, at peace can be

Away from human company

In tattered coat and ragged pants

In search of peace and sustenance

The vagrant roams the countryside

In search of somewhere new to hide

Vagrant

Shazbat I feel I am a hobo searching where to lay my head. I do wander lone and free away from crowds I'd rather be I love the woods and high ground Also the sound of the sea as waves crash all over me. I search of peace do I roam in search of a new cave to hide my temperary home. Electricblue
