Silence in his heels

A boy wanders to the side of the windy road.
Sand road takes him to morrow,
he doesn't stop to think about
the ashes of his home, on his shoes.
Silence is walking in his heels.
Ghosts of the scarred land.
Neither faith, hope or love
will escort him,
when the journey is yesterday's death
and there aren't any witnessess.
Silence is walking in his heels.
Walking in the footsteps of the past,
with the most heaviest steps.
The road disappears to the wind,
clouds sink close enough to touch.
