The Wandering One

From ebon nights, that seem everlasting
In the land of the midnight sun
He trudges through the blizzards embrace
For miles he's the only one

To radiant rays from heavens glow
They set the sand ablaze
Steady accross the  desert's peril
The meandering stranger strays

Upon the peaks , that pierce the clouds
A gasp of thinning air
Climbs with single minded will
To what though, he is not aware

Just soldiering on,  He is soon to be gone
On a journey which has not yet begun
For he searches without, what he seeks is within
Forever the wandering one.
