Wanderlust

 

Black top race closely behind

White lines ahead chewed;

Spit out miles

Old thoughts hide under bold new sky

Renew faded colors in reverberant light

 

Signboards overhead

Gently transform breath, expand heart sublime

Strange places swallowed and left behind

Jaded mind like byroads breaks free

From yesterday’s promises, tomorrow’s mystery

To find a new self

Elsewhere go I

To rekindle an old lost love inside

 

Tremble and quiver in the wake of air displaced

Solemn milestones gather

moss counting miles traced

Giant windmills tower, arms embrace

Stillness of land, tremulous heart with grace

 

Turn upon turn, mile into mile

This is who I am

This is where I want to be

Borrowing new life,

Endeavoring to seek

Wanderlust never rest inside of me
