she walks on

alone in the world
she walks amidst the crowds.
she listens to the voices around,
while searching for that sound.

she tilts her head to the sun
as the wind caresses her cheek.
where is her family?
no one knows or cares.

on and on she walks
as people stop and stare
at this beautiful child,
so young but with eyes of ice.

she walks on,
ignoring the looks
of bewilderment and envy,
of confusion and lust.

she cares not,
for what money brings,
nor for the pleasures
that people indulge in.

all she cares for
is her never-ending search.
one which matters a lot,
but only to her.

her footsteps sound on the
cement walkway,
lonely, yet confident
weary, yet certain.

somewhat vulnerable,
she walks on,
in search of the truth,
of some meaning of her life,
a reason for her existence.
