Astray Poems - Poems about Astray

Off The Map

I took the road less traveled
to hear if a falling tree
with no one around
(aside from yours truly)
does make a sound
but lost my way
veered far astray
and for the life of me
couldn't see
the forest for the trees
but if I could
it would feel so good
not a bump on a log nor lump on a stump
as then I'd be

Gone Astray

Gone Astray

like a lost sheep I often go astray
He always comes to find me 
and leads me gently home

Preceptor

past is a lamp for our feet
and a light for our path
like an accomplished teacher
it comes to our rescue
any time we go astray

Astray in the Dark

Some shall never see the truth, 
I've been this way since youth, 
The mask I wear is layers upon layers of paint,
So many that facial features appear faint, 
Unable to see due to this dark veil, 
Just praying that my feet will not fail, 
This prison created by my misguided will, 
A deep maze walked

The Tunnel

Little does my mind rest
Wailing and scraping at the walls of my brain
The feeling of being lost forefront 
Guiding lights leading me astray
To find the end an impossible outcome
Yet lying down to die not even a choice

Trying to break the patterns I’ve set
Failing to change who I am
Maybe I don’t need to change
Just find a

Astray

All we, like sheep, have strayed
From the good and righteous way
Choosing a shepherd to lead the flock
Is the difference between pasture or rocks
One will feed and nurture the sheep fold 
The other waits over the edge, below

Follow the Black sheep to the brink
Or the false shepherd, distracted with drink
Go your own way with little light
All

It Seems We've Gone Astray

Across the sprawling hills at a place called Arlington.
A gentle place where dreams and hopes still live on and on.
It's where  gentle wind blows down across the way,
It fills those marbled halls and there they will stay.
In those walls where dreams became reality,
In these halls a group of people made this country united and

Mistake To Avoid

by using eyes to 
Indentify wise people, 
you can go astray.

LOST

Sailing

Sailing a boat
Out to the sea
Waves and wind 
Rain and haze
Will carry us astray
Our ability to control 
Is not that simple 
Even a small boat
Even a small world 
We can be lost
Sometimes 
We can rule our hearts
But never our fate
And so 
Never the rest of the world

Ex Glande Quercus - From Acorn To Oak

The final springing of the year
May well decay, anon, I fear;
The sun could flaunt its dusk, for then,
I've marked my three score years and ten.

The morning's fire has lit my days
And led astray in many ways.
But twilight dun will trespass when
I glean my three score years and ten.

Yet sadness nil will ill my cheer
About the

Gone Astray

Regardless of what you heard in town
There'll soon be a turnaround
No need to have it all burnt to the ground
First thing I got to do is put the alcohol and herb down
Girl we can still work it out
Don't think otherwise, we both deserve it now

Saw it coming
Doing something
Not only running
Towards success I am gunning

Got no

The Trial

Why the world is full of 
Miseries and sadness
Are they a catalyst to activate
Your senses
Your eagerness
Your perseverance
For the truths and the true happiness
And a test for you not to go astray
From good teaching
To learn the truths by processes
And trials of life

Soulfully Pray

Soulfully pray
And you won’t go astray:
With your bent knees’ offer of luminous ray
You always shall see as to not end up Satan’s prey
Nor the sought dish on his demons’ tray

With soulful prayers you sniff a lurking fray
That could badly discolour a day
And make a man like an ass bray,
All the way
Us readying for an undreamt-of

Hearts Astray

same room desk ink pen
we wrote passionate letters
to our fiancés
