While the dusk takes the leave

And the starry night paints the sky 

With Paper, pen and lamp 

I set out on a journey with Alexander supertramp

Not into the wild 

But within the self : more wilder 

Destination barely known 

I dwell, for there's a mirage of hope 

That the place where questions brood will be known 

Solitude, loneliness I find 

But not what have marred my soul 

Nature the mighty have not been kind 

But vindictive, she has immured me in my own indolent world

Drapes somehow have been kind 

To not show the fallen leaves 

Battered by the rain 

And the disrobed trees 

For my heart would cry 

Remembering those days 

Where I would smell the dust 

After the rain 

Listen to the fallen leaves sing 

Of their pain 

Hear my mother's call 

To drink soup, her handmade 

While the dusk takes the leave

And the starry night paints the sky 

I sit alone in the corner with friends of mine
