In the silence of a dying star, I wandered through the cold and empty space
In the silence of a dying star, I wandered through the cold and empty space,
I, a dimmed light, falling into nothingness, seeking meaning among the shadows,
Until her cosmic pull caught me, called me with her silent voice,
I began to burn with new flames, melting into her mysterious light.
Each second that brought us closer made me

Wandering desires have wandered in the shadows
The feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds
Unexpected changes abound in the storm
The steps have been taken on a path without turning
Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk
Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned
Chasing dreams that didn't come true
The desires of the youth have gone astray

I Wandered Weightless as a Feather
after “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than birds,
detached from mortal

As sheep that have wandered
??1 Kings 22:17 KJVAAE??
[17] And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
Isaiah 53:6 KJVAAE??
[6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned

Forgive me, my love, for I wandered like a lost traveler
Forgive me, my love, for I wandered like a lost traveler,
On the enchanted caravel of our lives,
I traveled through blooming fields,
But slipped away like a subtle and enticing melody.
In the garden of your heart, I found shelter and rest,
A haven of tranquility, like stories woven in moonlight,
But I couldn't vigilantly watch over the early buds,

I Wandered and I Wondered
I wandered and I wondered,
About all the pieces of my life
That came together in a puzzle,
Causing so much strife
The struggle, loss, pain and betrayal at hand
Feeling at times, sinking in deep quicksand
Those many times my heart broken like a mirror,
I could see the many flaws that remain in me
I wandered and I wondered,
About all my

Lost I Wandered Away From My Father Shepherd God -My Spokenword
I'm standing on the grasslands surrounded by trees
I'm looking for my Father Shepherd I am lost amongst the leaves
Wandering aimlessly
My mind is frozen my heart pounds, crazy I'm lost
I cried aloud to the winds carry my voice
Wandering aimlessly
Why did I remove myself from the other children
Why did I wander off the straight and

I Wandered Lonely As a Boat
"I wandered lonely as a cloud." William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a boat
a shallow dingy left behind,
alone in marsh of reeds remote
my paint now faint so unrefined,
my only hope the next high tide
on brackish water then I’ll ride,
in aimless drift left up to fate

I Wandered Lonely As a Duckling
"I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud"
~by William Wordsworth~
I wandered lonely as a Duckling
Swimming in a big and lovely pond,
Trying to fit in and make a bond,
A group of golden fluffy ducklings.
Beside the lake, beneath the blue sky,
Playing together, not being shy.
Graceful as the wildflowers that grow
Growing in beauty, pure as the snow,
Sweet as honeydew or

I Wandered Lonely As a Twig
I wandered lonely as a twig
that fell into an endless stream.
I’d turn and sometimes make a zig
or bob along in a bad dream.
No longer on a branch was I
to gaze steadfastly at blue sky.
Instead this stream was moving me
so rapidly – I knew not where.
Oh, how I missed my tall oak tree
and breath of autumn

I Wandered Lonely As a Beach
I wandered, lonely as a beach
that stretches miles along the shore,
with its horizon, far from reach-
to hug the sky, forevermore.
From unseen starts, waves crash, retreat,
bathe pristine sand- no prints of feet.
So vast, the ocean, with huge waves
that rise and churn beneath the wind
as white caps form with froth that plays
upon the beach to then

I wandered lonely as a teardrop
In a sea of sand,
A tempest in one glistening drop,
Ruthless riptides of demands
Rush through a narrow neck of outlet
Turned upside down

I Wandered Lonely As My Life
I wandered lonely as my life
Conspired with my coming death
Wrapped in the cone of joy and strife
I cherished every passing breath.
Touched the hem of nature’s beauty
Did what I could because I can.
Marched to cadence, did my duty
Life altering my every plan.
Shed the tears of joys and sorrows
Watched as life’s moments passed away
Lived through all today’s

I Wandered Lonely As a Rose
I wandered lonely as a rose by Autumn's gate
as I lay there in still repose, petals strewn
I fell apart like dessert moon;
The scent that once perfumed my reign
were mellowed by September's rain
I drifted distant in the woods.
All my husks fell to the soil
each petal

I Wandered Lonely As a Puppet Thru Reno
"I wandered lonely as a cloud"

I wandered lonely as a puppet thru Reno
Like a weathered kite without it's tail
My feet take in a casino
As I followed that beaten trail
O'er the sea of green I splash
