aloof thoughts wander off... where they will
sleepwalk the endless mile
where once Whitman sung American undying

harmonic in tune to life's natural - music-
captures the whispers of breeze and sunbeams
bright as white noise

follow a Forefathers wisdom found
trust in first step before footfalls
on paths ten thousand times trod

buried treasure takes effort to unearth
and dreams see reality
only through mortal windows of faith

come, let's keep the beaten highway company
keep steady compass true north
keep what's offered only long enough, to return

where we will, sleepwalk the endless mile
where once Whitman sung American undying
aloof in thoughts wander off
