Wordless sounds of a Wanderer lost

Part I: Torn Away

I’ve been wandering for some time.

Further and further still.

Remembering the scent

Of Sea Salt, ‘groves, and drinks of Cherry-Lime.

Seeking.

An escapade powered by Fate’s Will.

Looking for the Once-Was, the Once-Sweeping.

To escape my own fate,

I wandered off the path.

Thinking only of their endless hate.

If I were to stay

Would my heart be further played

As I walk out of the tide

I wonder if I’ve somehow made a mistake.

Part II: The Resting Wanderer

All these years later,

I still remember lying in the ocean

Embracing and being embraced

By the tide.

You were my only escape,

My one truest love

That surpassed all others.

Days go by,

Change tempting me with beautiful roses, tulips, and sweet perfumes.

With the natural beauty of a different sort,

It tempts me.

To forget everything you mean to me.

Oh how I wish

I could have that final dance with you

How you’d sweep me off my feet.

Drifting me away with you one last time

Rocking me to and fro

With your sweet lullaby.

‘til I embrace your blue-green light

And we become One.

I am and will forever be bound to you,

And now I am cursed

Cursed to wander endlessly

Blindly stumbling throughout these forests,

These Enchanted Mountains

Every dawn,

They turn red as blood

As if they notice my bleeding heart

Aching for you

Every dusk,

They turn purple as a bruise

As they just watch me

Stumble on

Slicing my body to shreds

Walking nakedly throughout this field of thorns

the barbed branches

having ripped my clothes to shreds.

They whisper to me

Taunting me

With words of blunt hatred and forbidden secrets

Laughter surrounds the forest

As I fall to the ground,

ignoring the thorns and shadows surrounding me

I close my eyes

Numb and tired

I fall into an endless sleep

Dreaming of the beauty of that place

Of what I’ve lost.

Trapped in eternal sleep.

I smile.

For I’m back with you.

In the embrace of the Sea.

For we are One.

You’re a part of me and I a part of you.

For what is of the Sea,

Shall always return to the Sea.
