    About this ebook

    While different perspectives amount to different
    conclusions, they pretty much end up in the search of
    peace. Peace is variable for many. This book, a
    collection of 30 poems; aims to take the reader on a
    journey, with the thoughts of a Vagabond.
    Hanging around the corner are thoughts of a life-loving, nomad and you, a traveler might find parts
    that resonate with you. The Vagabond is a humble
    attempt to let you find you.

    "Stop not where the feet aches, stop when the soul
    rests..."

      I once lived in a yellow little house. Each morning, birds convened and sang at my bedroom window. The gate was indigo and inside the garden all kinds of flowers rose to kiss the sunny walls. The yellow nest was filled with cherished books, colourful

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
