When walking aimless down an old dirt road My restless soul drifts away like a cloud Desperate to lighten my weary load Fleeing troubled world of the disavowed
Afloat the birdsong and chirping crickets Weaker and stronger coming and going Sweet berries growing wild in the thickets Gently leaves rattle in a breeze blowing
Castaway my soul drifts from it's mooring Not aided by some confined moving hull Such freedom won is very alluring Escaping vagrant thoughts outside my skull
A slow and quiet journey down this road Where my spirit floats and lightens my load

About this poem:
I am embellishing the sense of a vagabond hippie (my alter ego) taking a journey down an old logging road only experiencing what nature comes along his path and allowing this nature to nurture a weary soul and freeing some spirit to walk along with me ....
this is a beautiful poem, I loved the reading and reading of it.

Hi Yankee
This is indeed a dreamy stroll amidst somewhere remote and quiet enough to allow the writer's thoughts to take wing, and to cast everyday cares aside for awhile. Superbly captured in this excellent sonnet.
