Best Wandering Poems

I savor silence and my solitary dreams, my wanderings
and in my candlelit room, I withdraw 
to my secret place and you
I have put on our wedding dance music
and I am travelling back, back in time with a sigh
I know what comes next and I want...

How wonderful it was when young to stray
and find sweet springs to sip from  on my way;
to get to stroll down summer lanes and touch
the cattails’ fuzz that tickled me so much!
My childhood passed. I got to cross a sea
and see green mountains tower...

The devil, he be a wandering,
Searching for a fool,
Someone easily persuaded,
To come under his rule.

Pride, deceit and unbelief,
Are the tools of his trade,
Planting seeds of fear and doubt,
In the souls that he invades.

The devil, he be a wandering,
Searching for a saint,
A true believer in the...

A speckle of light
appears in the dark
barely visible to eye sight
it is always there.
I think it is my grandmothers
wandering soul
here for some purpose
what for I don't know.
I can still feel her presence
like she'd never left
I can still smell her essence 
still feel her warm breath.
She...

Dark thoughts emerging from a lifeless spirit,
a wandering ship sinking into the remotest depths;
denying itself reality and its sense of comfort...
and was ever there a lighthouse to disperse its darkness?


A captain stirring his erring ship,amid furious waves,
for an imminent and fierce war,
not noticing the making...

THE WANDERING WOMAN

“Go tell the Spartans, Passersby--
A foolish woman does here lie.
She tired of each familiar face--
Thus died mid strangers in this place.”...

Blissfully wondering
here am I serenely imagining
yet not lost in my virtual wandering
mindfully comprehending
my future triumphant standing
as forgiven sinner of mercy’s outpouring
before the Lord, humbling…

On heaven’s golden street, trekking
my feet, anchored upon Christ’s securing
forever to enjoy sublime celestial exploring
eternal abode devoid of sun and moon shining
since...

Age can never erase memories of yore,
For there's an old but lovely song still rambling
In my head as I love to go a wandering
Along the vales or up the mountain sides,
Fetching flora, photographing fauna and sampling
Wildflowers, collecting leaves fancy or plain.
Study trees, evergreen or autumnal...

Wandering with the wind
Blowing me with the tall grasses I walk
Settling upon the blue asters
Resting my soul on a bench
Among the voices around me
Birds, frogs, geese
No money in sight or sound
Oppression part of no vocabulary
In woods or prairies
Just the joy of homemade applesauce
And herbs
Gathered in...

rivers flow onward

swift journeys lead to somewhere

years pass in silence...

I knew a poet in you, a long, long time ago
You used to be naïve, still the truest, I know.

I recalled, we bought a stand-fan, an item not in the list
$30 was unaffordable, almost a luxury for us, in the gist.

I got gallbladder stones, lots...

When gloaming twilight becomes night darkness
    I begin my nocturnal nightly wandering
            and gazing
at the unfathomable night sky-
             it...

Perilous!!! I dare not stay in such situation
Where terror prevails from attacking wild beasts
Midst tormenting sight of barren land
Leaving me gripped with solitude-angst.
Aware of my dread, I pray to God, beseeching Him…
To forbid me from wandering away from His serenity’s hedge.

Torturous!!! I trust God to...

At the moment we are but
wandering clouds chased across the 
sky of existence
 
by 

the winds of necessity, and consumed 
by the sun of voracious time,

why 

do we waste our ephemeral life hating, 
instead of filling our hearts with love 
sublime?

He walked the streets with charm, a handsome man so fair.
But unaware of his own beauty, lost in his own despair. 
His heart yearned for love, a love he's never known.
Searching in every face, in every smile, in every tone. 
The mirror showed a face,...
