Wanderer

Wanderer of the old grey hills,
Be there more than hurt that kills?
Be there fixes to long broken souls?
Be there words for a broken heart?

Wanderer of the old blue seas,
How long does it take to become like thee?
Freshwater rots wood,
But salt doth preserve,
How did thee sail, how did thee learn?

Wanderer of the clouded sky,
Can thou ever teach me to fly?
To soar on the wings of raven or dove?
How i do long to learn from above.

Wanderer of the old grey hills,
Keeper of the love that kills,
You wander to and from my sleep,
And all my heart’s strings do you keep.

About Maia Harrington

Well, to say the least I'm a bit of a nerd. I draw a little more than is healthy, and I've seen Lord of the Rings too many times. If you see something from me that you don't understand, assume it's Elvish :D I listen to music as often as I breathe (and by music I mean real music, with serenades and symphonies, not some screamo rock band made up of emo mimes, nu-uh, no way, not me. Never) I live in the woods, my iPod touch (3rd gen. for all you Apple nerds out there) is my left hand, my bow is my right hand. I practice archery too much, I read too much, I write too much, I talk too much.... I do too many things way too often and I get bored? What? Is that possible? Yes. Yes it is.

    • Actually, it kind of does. The first stanza does, at least. It refers to what I have learned from LotR. The rest talks about life, the one about the sea talks about how i cannot control the course of my life. It is a beautiful and as terrifying as the sea. Blah blah blah blah…

  1. Hi, Maia. I had to give your post a title as the untitled post was causing some URL-building errors (and David couldn’t comment!) 🙂 Feel free to change it as needed.

    • Thanks, actually, for titling it. Now that you put it there, it seems as though it should have been obvious what to call it, but i couldnt think of anythin before. ^^
