The Wanderer/Wonderer

To all the nomads, runaways, sojourners and pilgrims.

Put down roots?

“A rolling stone gathers no moss”
I’ve been told.
But whether moss is a good thing
(or not)
is a matter of interpretation?

Put down roots?
Stay put in one place
Actually start finding
My niche, my corner
My spot in the sun

Seen the sights
Heard the sounds
Where’s home?
Where’s my base?

A thousand names,
A million faces,
Who’s my neighbour?
Who am I a neighbour to?

Put down roots?

Beyond moss…
Will this seed grow?
Shall this sapling mature?
Can this tree flourish?

I don’t know (I… don’t know)
Where on earth (Where? On earth?)
Call me…home. (Call me, home)
