The Wanderer

I woke up and asked with a sigh,
Why am I living, what’s my why?
Where do I wander, barefoot, alone,
Through the burning field, far from home?

The wind stirs my face, lost and worn,
Shrouded in mist, forlorn, forlorn.
No trace of joy, no light in sight,
Tears run down — my heart’s in

Black clouds — the hues of deep despair,
White birds in sorrow, heavy air.
We’re all wanderers, earth’s brief
 guests,
Walk our path — then fade to rest.
