THE WANDERER

There was a certain man
in India long ago
whose gait was strong
and the attitude bold
He could preach life like the preachers
full of esctasy and fire
and he had the kinda features
women would desire

And talking sweet as honey
he built a kingdom
of riches and money
making deals at random

All the world was a stage
for him to play and sing
for him to parry & rage
at times praise, and at times sting

But then came a woman
one so beautiful and fair
with lotsa hidden charms
with winsome ways & silky hair
that he fell into her arms
until she became queen
of the wheeler dealer
weilding power unseen
also was a kinda healer
who could rein him in

But then his lusting and drinking
and his hunger for power
set off fate bells tinkling
bringing doom closer & closer
Wealth and power vanished
away fled strength and fame
and he became starved & famished
for the love of his only dame
A change was wrought
for he became a Wanderer
destination unknown
forsight & will to nought
where the heart led
there he fled

Then a sign from within
showed the way
promising of something
behold, the future beckons
hopeful, bright & gay
Now did he reckon
forgetting the present & past
free from worries atlast
But unshackled fear
holding like chains
anchoring with pains
to the life he knew
denying new gains
withholding the nouveau
resisting, it maims

Still, the longing within
and the fury without
the despair of the living
and the faith of the devout
goads him onward
to let go and go forward
forsake attachments and bonds
far from the madding crowds
the noise, the turmoil & the throngs
loosening the binding shrouds
seeking for hurts, a balm
manna for the soul
new frontiers of calm
a new destination as goal
Renewed in strength & cured of thought
he must achieve without slumber
seek purity for the heart
and he's no more a Wanderer

yes, somewhat similar to Emperor Ashoka - after he was saddened by the destruction wrought by the war he had waged, and had then embraced Buddhism.

thnx Vaasi

the Wanderer & what happens to him is a fictitious story I had created, borrowing from historical characters like Attila the Hun, Emperor Ashoka, Helen of Troy, etc.
