The Wayfaring Stranger
I set out to sea to see what I could see
I came upon a rock that was being mocked
I saw these scenes before my eyes I cried
I was a wayfaring stranger in a land within; danger stranger
A land not meant to be, a land I wished I have had never seen
The sights of terror, the sights of dread, and the home of the living dead
I set out to sea once again a stranger man than Din I thought; a water barer
I ought to be forgiven and then I realized that it was I whom was naught
The sun beat upon my brow and I sat and wonder how I was taught the lies
Of Space and Time I know not much but Life and indifference I am a Master
A Captain of a rotten ship that lists to one side or the other; disaster portrayed
Success is only seen as stars upon the Horizon; the boiling Sea sees me not sun dried
Tied to the Mast as if the winds did blow cutting skin and garments so; such is failure
I tailored my own boots and I walked in them deeply with rusted sword at my side
I set out to sea to see what I could see only to find out I was blind to every lie
A thought by Sinbad the Sailor Man

About Me
About me
I am would be Poet with an alter ego. They are self publishing their works. While increasing their portions, from this treasured laden land, adding to their chests daily 24/7 365 days a year. Pennies from Heaven an unlimited source. Also hoping to spread their knowledge to the Lost Souls of this World. As they complete their 180 degree turn heading out of the storm; they no longer, are sailing these oceans blue. This is what I have on an About Me Page: for my Blog one of Seven now I think. When Neo went Down I went Out and I have been out for awhile now; of the box, that is. Donnie/Sinbad the Sailor Man

Favorite Poets
Robert Frost
Walt Whitman
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls
who would cry out and to I will lend an ear
but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.
