Wanderer
I am a wanderer in the world
Shadow of a distant dream
Rootless and boundless,
I'm exactly what I seem
Thought and Memory's master
Every poet's inspiring friend
My hall will be many soldiers'
Destination in the end
I am sacrifice and strength
Ever in strife's company
Walking the line between
Madness and ecstasy
I grant wisdom and vision
Only to those willing to pay
The high price I ask of all
who would follow me on my way
I am fury and passion
To those who call my name
Many illusions disguise me
I change yet am the same
Hunter, sage and seeker
Both loved and often feared
I am active where I'm needed
I know all the worlds' wyrd
I am honor and doom
For those who to me have sworn
Challenge, testing and hardship
For those who drink from my horn
Wish-granter and victory giver
Powerful gifts - mine to bestow
Shaman, magician, and traveler
I go wherever I must go
I am a wanderer in the world
Lord, beggar, and ferryman
The end is ever coming
And I've much to do before then....
