The Lonely Wanderer

A Poem of Searching for Home and Love in the Night

By Tien MoneywestPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

The Lonely Wanderer

He wanders through the empty streets

With nothing but his thoughts to keep him company

The moon, his only guiding light

A solitary figure in the darkness of the night

He walks the roads less traveled

Where the shadows dance and the winds howl

And the echoes of his footsteps fade

Into the stillness of the night's embrace

His heart aches with a longing

For a place he's never known

A home that he's yet to find

A love that's yet to be shown

He yearns for a kindred spirit

To share in his journey's plight

A companion to stand by his side

And guide him through the endless night

But until that day arrives

He'll continue on his way

A lone wanderer in the night

Searching for the light of day

And though his path may be uncertain

And the road may be long and hard

He'll keep on walking, ever forward

With hope in his heart, and a dream to guard

For he knows that somewhere out there

His destiny awaits him still

A future bright with promise

And a love that's yet to be fulfilled.
