Not all who wander are lost

just some, like me.

Every now and then the wind comes through
and walking to the mailbox at 4 in the morning
makes me feel lonely and quite sad
too bad there's no kind of warning.

I'd run instead of walk then.

I should feel good that someone loves me.
It's mostly a menace to me these days.
I don't admit it's what I really need,
it's just a force, tryin' to change my ways.

Not all who wander are lost

just some, like me.

Sadly haunting, yet beautiful.  You know, your poetry is a window that allows us to see your heart.  It's a beautiful heart.  It really is.

This touches me somehow... but I'm not sure in what way.  I'm just a man - I'll blame it on that.

Thoughts...when someone cares for me, and they reveal their thoughts, and I realize that I don't feel the same, I tell them that my feelings are not the same, but if they want friendship I can offer that at long as they are able to stay at that level...most relationships will only be friends, and many needs are met at that level.  To me, more than one close relationship is complicated, and I don't want complications in my life...I've had my fill of complications...James

The first two lines say it all, and say it well.

Your not lost sis just follow the silver and gold threads back the way you came. Never forget they bound through eternity.

Exquisite.

I know what you mean. I only wish there was someone to love me. So you are lucky there. Seems like I have been lost all my life. Never knew who I was, or where I was going. And, I often wonder, why am I here? Hope I find out, before it is too late.
