How does the wanderer's present life compare with his formal life?

In the Wanderer's former life, he had friends that he
could speak with. Now, all of his friends and fellow seafarers are gone and he is left
to wander for companionship and what it is become of
him.

It seems that the Wanderer lived a full life upon the
sea. He was satisfied in his life and had others with similar views. This allowed him to
feel accepted.

Now, as life has passed, he is curious about
where his life will take him now that everyone else has passed. He is
alone.

In reality for him, the only thing left from his
past, the only thing left to give him hope is his God.
