The Wanderer Fantasy
The man wanders year upon year
guided by blind hope
driven by restlessness
always seeking the unobtainable
hiding from the past
running from the images
escaping the torment, though in vain
never knowing where he will reach next.
Each place is a paradise at first
then restlessness strikes
tempting him with promises of greener grass
leading him in search of a new home
another empty desert where he will reside alone
the seasons pass
another year

always seeking the unobtainable
hiding from the past
running from the images
escaping the torment, though in vain
never knowing where he will reach next.

I find this to be a very definition of people seeking faith.
Isn't it amazing how we can all write something and people see it in differing lights.
This is a wonderful write, Reading list for me, and it may inspire me for a future write.

there is always hope. even if it is blind. i, too, find myself tempted by fairer shores and greener grass. i'm working on staying put.
i like how you start and end the piece with the same words. it gives this wandering piece a good foundation.
