Man labors

Somewhere between cities

a heart is born

wrapped with movement and mysteries

a traveler's sojourn



And cold water

cannot quench this thirst

the search for bread and butter

above all, comes first



Come summer, come winter

different seasons speak too

despite these he must live through

and when to morn'

he says a prayer

noon backs it up

the toil is at its peak then

till evening brings a stop

for him to be placed captive

of a daily night's rest

to tap of more energy

to pass another day's test.
