Wanderers Poems - Poems about Wanderers

The winged wanderers

The birds, I saw
soaring high in the azure sky
of the countryside,
drifting softly through the air
beyond my sight.

Over the mountain,veiled in mist
where the rivers flow
and valleys twist,
they might have journeyed.

When they were no longer seen,
an emotion began to stir,
a metaphor of freedom's call
to the boundless skies.

My heart ached with longing
for journeys they could make,
their freedom song

The Sad Wanderers

Oh ye the Man
Listen!!!! For the King’s palace has got burnt 
The chiefs are being hypocrites 
For the Queen is the source of the living,making the King looks mighty 

Oh ye the Universe 
Look!!! For you shall start a journey where you have no consent to start 
And a journey where you have no Vision

Sojourners

When wanders weep,
heaving, heavy hearts
eventually erupt, evading
notice, like so many naars.1

When wanderers weep,
announcing vulnerability
not caring who sees their
drops darkening the dirt,
evoked discomfort greets them.
Reassuring platitudes rise up to
erase their deepest hurts, 
rescuing strangers from action, 
strangling empathy.

When wanderers weep
expectations slip away.
experience’s realities scream,
“Please, see me through this day!”

1. naars - a type of flawed diamonds

Nomads of the Desert

Wander lust their families’ motivation
Nomads fluctuating in flowing migration,
Seasonal uprooting to discover new ways
Looking in new directions in anticipation.

Restless as the cirrus streaking the sky
Wander lust their families’ motivation,
They gather not, and with time dissipate
Having done so since primordial creation.

The land they claim their sovereign nation
Whatever resources subsistence requires,
Wanderlust their families’ sole motivation
Until with age

Wanderers

O'er lush and verdant fields

Wanderers a-roaming,

Oh earthly paradise

Horses, in the gloaming.

How I envy thy sweet soul

Your spirit, wild and free

'Neath those hooves, your every need,

Could I but swap with thee.

Petition To the World's Wanderers

My Petition to the World's Wanderers.

Let me ride onto thy wings of light,
Galloping onto thy high swift flight,
Oh thou Star! Take me to the highest galaxy and alight,
Upon there, we shall close our pinion and rest overnight .

Take me, thou moon in pellucid bloom,
Before the angels door we shall dance in groom;
And when the heaven

Wanderers

Wanderers we have been

Off to distant climes,

Restless curiosity

Led to inquiring minds.

Daring to take the risk

Challenges to be fought,

Reaching for the highest peak

Unspoiled lands, we sought.  

Island paradises too, secluded and serene

Searching for the seldom trod,

Each journey, was our dream.

The Wanderers

The Wanderers

The Wanderers wear many faces,
They may come from nothing and other dark places;
With surviving skills amazing to see;
While we, untested, cry over burned fricasee.

There was old Annie in the food pantry
Which had a clothes closet, too, for the poor;
She came every 3 months, didn't pick for sizes,
Sold what she got for whatever, a dime

The Amorphous Wanderers

The circumscribed blue, yet painted limitless,
espied familiar trespassers, no... aghast! Invaders,
disturbing the Celestial Kingdom of tranquil poise
with their creeping agitated army 
of incipient, transitory Amorphous Wanderers.
The heavenly arbitrator of the eternal vogue
implored the vagrants to avast the province,
but availed not. For the bulging legions were earless
and multiplied faster than Hydras.
Numbering more than the sands of

Wanderers and Home

where are you running off to, Oh wind?
There are no devils to chase you,
and nothing can stand in your way.
you are always born and Death
can never hold you in his arms.
yet you seem lost, restless
wandering through space and time
here and there, here and there.
For ever everywhere.

Where do you go wind? where is your home?
Or do

Shoeless Wanderers of Heaven

N ever again will the Tribes of Israel be the sacrificial lamb of man.
A nnealed in furnaces of man, not in Olam HaEmet by the Almighty in "the World of Truth."
Z ealots rose from the ashes of the ovens and now defend like Sicarii of old.
I srael blooms and grows in the desert, returned by

For We Wanderers

To where we go
No one knows
Exactly where we go
I don’t know

The hope
That floats 
The areas
Sensitively 
Remote
When life
Is simply 
Revoked

Belief 
It’s an honorable mention
But it kills a number far greater
That it helps survive 
With in the tension
You question your state of being
You wonder why you’re alive
And who knows if your body goes anywhere
Besides in that box,
