Lodestar



Alone in the streets of hue

Complexities of my mind grew



I walked and ran like a mad

Behind the woods, I was a lost lad



Into darkness, now that I was lost

Trees with green leaves covered with frost



At some distance the wolves howled

Hunger of peace, my mind growled



Crossing a stream of blue

The dark sky’s wind wasn’t the only clue



Walking for miles, I heard a voice

Melodic and fragrant, he was a choice



Right from there in the sky

He smiled at me to heal my scar



He was abstract and beautiful

I called him my lodestar…
