"Those who have nothing are those who are free"


Poem Artwork

Wanderer

 

Why do I go to the trouble to write

Perfectionistic poetry at night

When people who are paired-off are asleep

To navigate these waters dark and deep

Riding this tide and drifting like these clouds

Which float objectively above the crowds

Of those who are more fortunate than me?

 

With no one to be with no place to be

I am a solitary wanderer

Going places where no one ever goes

Some of which are some of which never were

 

And where I might end up nobody knows

 

I like it this way so I leave the day

To walk in darkness and leave you the light

I find poetry in the dark you see

I travel light in the dark you might say

 

Those who have nothing are those who are free

Good points, Steven. You are not the only one who is solitary. Sometimes, solitude is in the soul. Thank you. Love and peace,

So true, those with nothing have nothing to lose. I also tell my single friends that there are things I do miss about being single, like being able to plan my own day, etc.

I so agree those that have nothing are the free ones this is very well written.

Ahhhh my friend but even some of us that are paired off still walk and talk and write in the night, it is 4:26 am here and where do I sit instead of in my warm bed. Methinks that the night are for us all who understand the quietness of the soul at the darkest hours.
