To Look among the Voids
Folder:
The Wanderer To who we are, to what we wait
It matters not, for our same fate.
We wander where we may be found,
Making steps on the empty ground.
To search for light in fields of grey,
Loss of color leads to dismay.
Feeling less as we grow for more,
Emptier than ever before.
Bravo
This is very profound. I wish I had written this well when I was your age.

Thank you! I always re-read
Thank you! I always re-read my work and come to the inevitable conclusion that it is never good enough. So, I really appreciate that!
A good sign
That's a good sign, about how you think the poem is never good enough. It is, to turn a phrase, a false positive. It means you are scrupulous about your craft, but humble enough to think there is still an ideal form you have not reached. In a paradoxical way, this is a sign of your greatness. Neither Vergil nor Dante were satisfied with their epics; Milton even revised Paradise Lost heavily between the first and second edition. Most people your age would think what they right is perfect. Your attitude is entirely different, it is very mature, and it is just another sign of a very old and very wise soul within you. I applaud your accomplishment, and I think you will be one of the stars of postpoems for a long time.

Not All Those Who Wander are Lost
I was going through the poems in your folder "Not All Those Who Wander are Lost" and must say that the Folder's title was very interesting. Wanderers wander in search of something they only know. Some wander for spreading some message .... Some simply enjoy travelling..... The line search for light in fields of grey is SOLID
Aren't we/they/everyone looking for light ??!! and BTW Lovely rhymes ~BM~
