The Best Poem Of Brandon Long

Traveler

You can find them almost anywhere
Traveling business men by trade
They walk with sense of purpose
Dress in jackets made of suede

If you dare to ask this man
What he's seen throughout his days
He'll tell you tales of all he's done
With a distant kind of gaze

He'll conjure up grand stories
Of the lands far off away
He'll paint you pictures of Mumbai
The beaches of Bombay

With this encounter it may seem
His life is grand and full
But the secret that he does not share
Is of his broken soul

He's toured this world far and wide
In search of purpose, a belief
But in his years of searching
Found but loneness and grief

Now he dreams of something more
A family that once he had
Someone for whom to share his dreams
And comfort when times are bad

So when you see this man
Nicely dressed and looking neat
Make sure to count your blessings
Pray his curse be soon complete
