On the Sidewalk

I've travelled 
not really far and wide 
watched the mundane 
some strange, some incredible

but the nightmares unchanging
city after city 
I laid awake at nights
finding solace in shadows
wondering if I was to be consumed
by the unyielding eclipse 

I will stand again
under the blazing sun 
or dark skies
another strange land 
shattered dreams in out-stretched palms
let me be the requiem of your pain
on the sidewalk I'll be-- waiting for home
while your footsteps echo into tomorrow.
