Notes About The Poem

                  

 

                                    Inspired by Black Country Communion - Wanderlust 

    

Wanderlust

Its just me, I Can’t be still. You gotta understand I Never will. There’s a need to roam, But I will keep coming home. Deep in my soul while I travel, I have to be free, thoughts unravel. Crazy thoughts, being free. It’s really me, so release me. Bright sun in the world outside. So never will I need to hide. Lord, oh Spirit in the sky. Unleash my chains, please don’t deny. Always wandering I’m a solitary man. No, I will never lose who I am. Greif is part of me, fear can attack. Solid I will stay, I won’t look back. I was born, all the fear is gone. Wanderlust inside me I can carry on. Nothin shallow, feeling strong. Through the glass to sing my song. Wanderlust day and all night long. I cast my shadow being strong I must. Through the window its left in the dust. The remnants of my sorrow. It will be all clear tomorrow. Like a tumble weed I will travel on. Yes now all fear is absolved and gone. Left behind discarded in the dust. Now just me and my wanderlust.

Yes Constance has won first place a lot… but she recently came in second in my British Blues Explosion contest to Dilly Dally. So no, she hasn’t won them all.

Hi Robert thnx for your comment I was told the same person has won every single 1st place in your contests except once when she didn't enter, could that be true? I am so curious, I mean that is such a commendable fact.
