I Wandered and I Wondered

I wandered and I wondered,
About all the pieces of my life
That came together in a puzzle,
Causing so much strife
The struggle, loss, pain and betrayal at hand
Feeling at times, sinking in deep quicksand
Those many times my heart broken like a mirror,
I could see the many flaws that remain in me

I wandered and I wondered,
About all my days of joy
A playful life of inspiration
Like a child with a toy
Laughter freeing the spirit, as if nothing is wrong
Dancing with a smile, to every song
The many times my heart healed, ready to fly
Releasing all the burdens of asking some things why?

I wandered and I wondered,
About my destiny
So many paths I’ve taken
And still there’s so much to see
Impressions and visions, imagination on fire
Burning and yearning with inner desire
Then, the many times, my heart wanted you
Sending messages in the wind, in a dream, we flew
To pristine places, hand in hand
Where no-one has ever been, but you understand

You wandered and you wondered - how hard the English language must seem to some trying to learn it. A beautiful poem my dear friend, hopelessness comes to everyone in life during their a lifetime but our happy joyful moments as you say, and recalling them is a certain remedy. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Reads like a very special poem for a very special person or entity. Something I am sure we could all say, "I wandered and I wondered" Those who usually do, find more treasure and answers than those who do not:) Great read, Heidi:)
