Wanderlust
I may not be rich,
talented,
or well-known
My words may not make it,
on the front page
we see at home
But the words themselves
are truly
my own
I speak of life,
of loving,
and living
Running away
until the giving tree
starts giving
Of taking a plane
a bus
a train
To far-off worlds
where buried
is my pain
Jungles
and deserts
and waves kissing the sand
Places to be new
and different
and grand
Where the world is the same
but I see
through new eyes
And the faces of the people
tell eagerly
no lies
So no,
my will alone
won’t take me far
And the money in my pocket
can’t rent me
a car
But I can float away
on the words I write;
Be whoever.
See whatever.
Until I say
Goodnight
