Nomad

A nomad to the world
My journey's yet to start
No home, no destination
I reside within your heart.

A bag slung over my shoulder
A quick glance to check my back
Out in the cold, I begin to fold
The night stares at me, black.

The stars fade over my head
The moon wanes to a sliver
I lower my eyes, say my goodbyes
I look around and shiver.

The wheels are set in motion
There's no coming back, I know
No time for regrets, favors or debts
I look down, my head hangs low.

All alone out in the wild
The world's a merciless place
I look in strife as I look for life
And count down through my days.
