Masterless, I roam and wander

Seek out fate that destiny provides me

Serving only that is my choice

Speaking out now only with my own voice

I shall be shunned and thought to plunder

And live each day in the moment

And see the beauty that is all around me

For in a moment, it may be gone

For each living breath shall make me strong

I will not march to anyone’s order

I only take the path I wander

In search of my fortune as yet unfound

When my time has come to pass

And the weapons I wield I may lay to rest

I shall be as blossom that has come to ripen

And slowly wilt and fade away

I will have no fear of death or suffering

That I had lived for each perfect minute

As I am now, so shall I be gone

 

Reviews

[Katherine Wyatt]

What a wonderful write.. a portrait in words, so to speak, of a life well lived..the life of a soul that has mastered itself

[Kris Tate]

Very moving and beautiful

[Kees Kapteyn]

Very romantic portrait of a lover/warrior- his identity and honour flows from these words
