Spirit Walking

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 ....

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.
