I do not own Trigun / Vash "the Stampede": he belongs to the amazing Mr. Yasuhiro Nightow.

Things Vash may have pondered, at least part of the time, during all the many years when he wandered alone.

Pondering Destiny

I roam long hours through trackless wastes

My name is known, but not my face

Alone upon the desert sands

The barren dunes of No Man's Land

.

Wand'rer, drifter, forgotten soul

Now we're apart, can I be whole?

I hear your words, and through my tears

I've watched this world a hundred years

.

Dear Rem, he stole your life from you

That hour my heart with tears imbued

I try to live to make you proud

...will this red coat become my shroud?

.

Each life precious, equally dear

Your life for theirs was traded here

I'll save as many as I can

Upon this desolate dry land

.

I must go face him yet again

Knives who's slain so many men

None else can stop him, so I must

Prevent his schemes at any cost

.

I know not when or where I'll find

That one who's purged love from his mind

With all my weakness, can I be

The one who sets this planet free?

.

These foolish normal humans here

Know not from Knives they've much to fear

I love them as you'd wish, Dear Rem

Like you, I'd give my life for them
