Wanderer
I, the wanderer, set out;
A journey
to overcome life’s oppression.
Fear crouches;
Always ready to attach depression.
Lurking,
life so unfair;
Monster in my dreams,
Waiting to unleash despair.
So many thoughts,
I hold desperately to hope,
To persevere and overcome
On this journey for which I’ve come.
Dare I trust while darkness enfolds?
Tired and often overwhelmed,
To hope I hold.
Trusting peace will come again
When darkness disappears
Because love will triumph
And light dispels my fears.
I, the wanderer, set out;
A journey to overcome;
To see how far I’ve come;
Trust elusive as fear encroaches,
Peace reproaches;
But darkness stays the course
With no remorse.
