Life of an Exiled Poet Wandering the Mountains

Life of an Exiled Poet Wandering the Mountains

I am living a lonely life
Exiled from my home land
A stranger in a strange land
Far from where I grew up
Searching for what I lost

Just an exiled poet
Wandering the mountains
Deep in thought
Wondering what
Adventures wait me
As I wander the mountain paths

Wandering here and there
Just searching for my lost life
Wondering where my life
Has gone so terribly wrong
And why I am on this path

I see on the mountain path
A secret climbing cave
And I enter the cave
Hoping to find
A portal

Back to my lost world
To my lost time
To the beginning
Of my journal
The beginning
Of my long exile

But I can’t find
My way back
And am soon lost
And so I become
A ghost-like figure
A lost soul of the damn

Doomed to wander
The world
Wandering the mountains
Lost in dark thoughts
Forever exiled
From my love
