Wanderer Imprisoned

March 20, 2019
By Anonymous

I am but a lonely prisoner;

A weary wanderer.

Forever doomed to trudge

This barren expanse;

To pace between the iron walls.


Unless I should take the poisoned chalice proffered;

Drink the cursed draughts of freedom,

Break free of my cage;

Fly away from my desolate travails!


But alas,

Here and there a bird sings outside the bars;

A breeze caresses my heated brow.

“One more step,”

It murmurs.


“Your journey;

Your chains,

Shall not be forever;

For naught.”
