Absent Wanderer

Wandering -
to foreign lands and foreign places
Wandering -
I am in shadow, I have no faces
Wandering -
lost somewhere way deep inside
Wandering -
I am now gone I have died
Wandering -
Wandering -
absent now forever I will never be found
no marker place where I was buried in the ground

This reminds me of a movie I once saw about a bomber crew that crashed their plane in the desert. They spent years waiting to be rescued. As the movie drew to the end you realized that they had all died in the crash and they were waiting for someone to find their remains and give them a proper burial so they could be released from being stuck in the desert.

For me this poem is about a wandering spirit who is stuck wandering because no one can find where they died.

A very sad tale but I bet a lot of people have felt that way.
The sadness in this runs deep.
Excellent poem.

Wandering about can be fun and an adventure or just the opposite.
But coming home is the best part.
But what if you've no home to come home to?
Fantastic write!

often times our mind wanders and then wonders where it is going to end up...no rhyme or reason and no particular season...

we just drift sometimes...we are a soul without a face.

nicely written.
