The Soul of the Wanderer

Lonely pathetic vagabond Wandering through time Idle and confused Careless and carefree Yet dizzy with the hovering silence In an eternal moment of emptiness Where time has no meaning Peace just a passing thought A vanishing illusion Of an instant somewhere in the sea of chaos Compromising till there’s nothing left A soul slowly deprived of its integrity Weakened lessened hurt and humiliated Tears that do not come Angels that do not hear So very desperately alone Submitted on November 21, 2018 for CONTEST No.520 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST and on April 13, 2018 for contest NEW POEMS ONLY sponsored by EMILE PINET

A perfect description of what one feels when so "desperately alone": depressed, sad, empty. Congrats on your placement in the contest too, Line. Hugs....

A little 'heavy' (to use '60's jargon) at the end there, Line, but powerful-- congrats on your win in B's contest.

"A vanishing illusion", "Angels that do not hear" - such moving lines, Line!

No worse feeling than loneliness'. It weakenes the soul.
