travel light

I travel light, I travel free
born without possessions, with no religion
I've got no talent, nary a friend
gained no lovers, gained no wealth
I come unannounced, I leave in stealth

there is no string, no ties to strain
my story is plain, the words are few
I have no moral, no lesson to learn
I keep no letters, nor deeds to burn

I travel light, I travel free
born without a home, got a world to roam
I've made no commotion, no legacy or children
cheered for no one, mourned for no death
yearned for not a kiss, stolen not a breath

there is no flavor, nor a scent or colour
nary a flicker, the stars dim and far
I have no beat, no poetry to rhyme
I keep no secrets, no memory nor time
