Wandering Souls

On the road to nowhere

No one knows your name

You're free to be you

No Destination

Soul Searching

East Coast to West Coast

North to South

Anywhere, Everywhere

Just going

  Wondering souls

Excellent write . . .
Not being known . . . being free to be yourself, obviouly has its elements of freedom, for you're not attached, and it leaves many room for creation of the self. Yet there are also elements of loneliness to it - and being ditached can often be scary. (Freedom can indeed be scary, for it holds more responsibility and independancy.)

The title, in my opinion, was a good choice. Almost reminds me of a ghost - a wandering soul without a certain destination or chains that cage him.

Your poem reminds me of the feeling I would sometimes experience when I used to wander round the empty streets of north Hobart looking for things to photograph at 3.00 am on any given week night back in 1991. Thank you for it.

Great title and poem! Short yet full of meaning and desire. Tyfs!

I love the vibe of this piece: a complete sense of freedom. As I read, I imagined someone traveling all alone but at the same time, with freedom -- with happiness and wonder. For some reason, it made me remember the saying "ignorance is bliss"... not sure why.

You've captured emotions quite well in this short piece, and it was truly my enjoyment to read. I think the lack of punctuation compliments the themes of "freedom" and "wandering" as well ... it worked nicely in this piece. I look forward to reading more from you. Thanks for sharing.

I was kind of worried about the lack of punctuation. I am super glad you enjoyed it anyway. It's cool that you said you imagine someosomeone traveling all alone. That is what this poem was inspired by. When I left community college, I took off with just 25$ i. my pocket and headed West from Maine. It was amazing. Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for dropping by!

I thought this part of the poem was excellent! The contrasts, which stacked on each other with their size and scope, really made me feel the sense of big, wide open space. Very freeing. I also loved the almost rhythmic quality of the words. This would make a great song!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Sometimes I wish this was me, exploring without purpose. Poem gives a real sense of freedom.

[E.Jay]

It's such a fun way to live. You see so much,and experience so much. It's liberating to just go. I recommend everyone do it. Even if for a short time.

When my daughter is a little older I think it's something we will do. Even if it's only for a short time.
