I WALK ALONE

Never am I alone, I am a man whom walks alone,

On my own, through the streets, a path I choose.

Step by step it is my shoes that take me away,

These feet move fast and far along the road.

My thoughts are my companion as I roam the land,

This journey not always understood as I understand.

Miles and miles are mine to see, my footsteps are me,

Free to walk with the wind, shackles taken from my skin.

Not a prisoner am I to the everyday money game,

When I walk then I am in charge, I am the captain.

I walk alone fore there is in me a mission of purpose,

I walk alone, never on my own.

Keith Garrett

One thought on “I WALK ALONE

  1. Love this. especially the last line. The poem reminds me of days, a long time ago, when unemployed and “not a prisoner to the everyday money game” – all I had to do each day was walk and walk and walk….an interesting and surprisingly fulfilling time. Thanks.
