I found myself in strange places the outcast even on bright days of festivals still . . . I pine not those I left behind three brothers stuck in that small Arkansas town I am the wanderer still . . . ©July 11, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ Tell the truth, but tell it slant.--Emily Dickimsom ~*~ |

I never really thought about it until now. but you are a wanderer. You take these great pondering walks with us wandering along with you. You wander across time and topics. Wanderer indeed! |

now that you mention it you are a wonderful wanderer! You wander past time and topic with your words as we wander along beside you. You have taken us many places and made us feel many things. |

I have always felt "the wanderer" was me. I learned in reading Poe it's a road that many of us actually follow, but most often walking alone. Bet you I reach the end first!  Michael |
