vagabond bound

I was a mere vagabond.
I roamed the deserts and plains
vast seas and lofty mountains
in a search to which I was but bound.

I sought only a reason
for my life and the mundane existence
of unfound joys and their cruel persistence.
 
Why had I committed myself to worldly treason?
Why did life encompass such
inquiries?  What does this pursuance of survival mean?
Why are tranquil pastures not green?
Is to ask merely this, to ask too much?
Why did life just go on
without the hope and want?

For this vagabond why was it an irritable taunt?
Was the answer too deep to ponder upon?
why did life contain memories
of experiences that are better forgotten;
love and losses ended and begotten?

Better would it not be to remember only glories?
Alas! I have quit my roaming
but only for the answers.
All the questions I still ponder.
Vagabonds abound so many others keep becoming.
 
Are you one?
