"Vagabond’s Lament (A Shakespearean Sonnet)" from "Birthright: Poems for the Journey" by Devi Nina Bingham

 

Vagabond’s Lament (A Shakespearean Sonnet)

It is time that I am moving with the whirlwind,

it beckons my curiosity.

Blow winds of change, give me your tailwind,

and hands of fate, no animosity.

 

Like a ghost who wanders from town to town

it seems, quietude was not meant for me.

And when I have a nervous breakdown,

I will find my solace beneath a shady oak tree.

 

Alone am I, like a ship at sea.

The storm clouds drum and blow towards me.

The endless deep, black and briony

the captain I shall ever be.

 

And while I can wander anywhere,

I will never stay, lest I be ensnared.
