He comes in the night or perhaps in the morning and simply slides on into town. A smile here a glance there steadily casing the place out. Kindness and joy are his two main themes as he radiates good will towards everyone he meets. Perhaps a coffee here a long sit on a bench there a bit of time to contemplate his dreams.
If it comes to friends he has few but they never would do as the traveler is a man who just passes through. What does he want what is it that he needs unknown is this man which leaves those he meets pleased. What a kind guy, what a polite fellow are the thoughts left in the mind of those he interacts with on these streets. Why does he travel from town to town, not a thought or a moment spent of consideration in settling down.
What could it be that makes this good fellow tick, the answer is unknown to both you and me. It wont be long a few hours or days when the traveler decides that its time to leave. Is it heartbreak or fear that keeps him on the move or does he just love life so much or might he have something to prove. One may never know what motivates him so or what could have led him to choose such a life. Will we ever understand the mind of the traveler?
Thoughts
This is my third short poem in this series. Its enjoyable bringing characters and ideas to life. There's something about creative writing that really removes the bonds of everyday life and allows us to truly be free and explore places we could have never imagined going as we make our ways through daily routine. I hope you enjoyed this poem. Thanks for reading.
