A Traveler's Wish

Perhaps I'll travel far and wide,

past the eyes of those around me,

to see the redwoods lick the clouds,

or bake in the Kalahari.

Maybe I should see the sea,

perhaps the jungle even.

Or maybe nothing naturally known,

but the city has its demons.

I could search the ancient realms

of distant times unknown.

Nay, the time may come,

but it shall not be soon.

All over the world I could travel,

full of experience and bliss.

My life would be fulfilled,

but it's home, the most I'll miss.
