Just Another Gnome

What compels me
to find those things
what sunset do I seek
what avenues to walk
is destiny a corner
just around the block
do cobblestones meet pavement
or does the dirt road
always lead to rock
Am I lost
will I ever be the same
should I wander past the stars
have I travelled too far
what compels me
to search for you
to find my nook of heaven
cradled in your breast
kiss the splay of pedals
until you lay at rest
do the fires burn
does such a life exist
will I find the flames
or burn in hell
while they laugh at me in jest
can I find my way back home
or toil in the garden
as just another gnome.
