toddy into dreams



The old Indian man
He walks barefooted to town
Rain or shine he will try
Alone taking his small steps

He will hang around
At the toddy shop to dream
Into the empty space of his life
A semblance of peace he hopes to get

The life he forgets
Now old age has taken him
Only his old habit he can't forget
He has to get his addiction

Occasionally he will get a ride
Into town on a motorbike
But his life of lost dreams
He settles for his toddy
