THE STREAM / by Jim Caffrey

I walk on my own
in a way I know best
Not caring to follow
footsteps of the rest

With head and heart
in some balanced way
I keep my eyes
on the goals for today

Oh, to save the world
is my battle cry
But, more often than not
I’m content with a sigh

So, on and on
through the days and nights
The cities and towns
and the cheers and the fights

I keep on moving
like a leaf in a stream
Off to new places
that could be in a dream
