walking these streets for years
each day brings new faces
young and old
black and white
moving past
with a destination in mind
yet walking on this street
day after day
without a destination
strolling with eyes wide open
intently listening
there is a longing
hearts breaking
hearts worried
hearts afraid
moving towards a destination
with purpose
expectation
but missing the point
of the journey
