Dark Hippie

The dark hippie walked the streets of the city alone

He was just trying to find his way somewhere back home

Frustrated at his troubled life, but his heart was in a good place

Sad at all the violence he saw on television in the world, a minority to his own race

Turned the corner at the busy intersection of the town square

Bumped into a pretty lady who was also looking into space very unaware

A collision of two lost souls meant destined to meet at that exact time

Got to talking, and realized why walk alone in the city of slime

Picked a random destination from the air a nice location in its prime

All of the sudden the dark grey sky began to turn a light blue

The sun broke through and shined brightly on the destined once lonely now together two

The store windows once bare were now colorfully dressed with change and hope

Decorated with paintings of art subconsciously telling the two where to go

Decided to get married, and moved to the rugged country to start a fresh life

Had a few children who grew up to be leaders in their community without any strife

Now the two are happy grandparents to a beautiful baby boy sent straight from god’s tears

Those gloomy days for that dark hippie are now over as he and his mate live out their golden years

The two who found love eventually died days apart without any fears
