Poem of the Young Wanderer
Saturday, May 21st, 2005Wanderer of Fate
Call him young, a child of mortality
Whose eyes are pierced but sees
A soul of the seemingly endless days
A mortal watcher of time eternal
Forever on a journey
A travel in search
Seeking truth that is beyond
Beyond what knowledge tells
He of strong emotions, of deep sentiments
With the quiet joy that makes him smile
A subtle anger that he needs
The melancholy that he understands
Tears of joy and sorrow
To his unending task in life
Sweat and blood that he sheds
For a purpose worth higher than his own
Lies on the grassy ground of open fields
Gazing at the endless blue by day
Staring the wonderful glitter paintings of the night
He writes what he feels
Embraced by the nature around
With the breeze from heaven
The beauty of the earth and sea
He dwells among them
He wields the sword and pen
A sharp rapier for the battle waiting
A pen for the calm before the storm
A sage and soldier
He speaks of experience and of wisdom true
Some of ages past
Some of present days
With this, he aids those among the lost and weary
He longs for the truth of beauty
Beauty of the soul and body
Of complexions of pure feature
The soul clean as a crystal river
His eyes see the world of wonders and shadows
Like a kaleidoscope of the spirit
Witnessing the true but quiet mysteries of our earth
Watching the untold phantoms and beauties of the human soul
He loves and is loved by angels
Of whom he treasures in this life
He adores and cherish them
And fierce is he on their defence
Ready to die for love and hope
As all romantic warriors are
Though the forces oppose him like an awesome tide
What is that to the resolute fighter?
Life is real, real truth
And for him life is not just a theatre play
Not just a war, a drama, a journey
But life is the sea that has them all
It is the power of faith
Of things beyond our mortal realms
And the play of fate
The unknown dream that calls him
