About the Poem
Living in a place where you can see the river any day you want adds peace to your heart. There's never a day where it looks the same. I wrote this poem in 1994 when I was a Freshman in high school and because of a teacher that inspired me to write.

The Wanderer |
| by Tinker |
| Floating down a river The sun warming my skin, The wind going through my hair, The water lapping over my bare feet and arms, Whispering ever so softly, "Come, unite with me! " Watching the sun set, Its warmth embracing me, The afternoon air turning cool, The red and orange of the sunset Lights the sky like fire. "Come, unite with me! " The night wrapping its love around me, Shh . . . I am being watched, Eyes from every corner of the earth, Yet there's nothing around me, Nothing but the night. "Come, unite with me! " The dark clouds closing around me, but I am not scared. Thunder booms, Lightening strikes, Sending their warning, Yet I am not afraid. The Lord watches over me. I am the Wanderer. "Come, unite with me! " |
