To Travel To Wander To Be Away From Anything Poem by RIC BASTASA

today i leave on a journey beyond the sea
i shall wander to see the other face of this earth
somewhere
i will be away from anything
it is my decision
it is my need,

away, i will wander, away, i will ponder
i will be hgher from this place
so i can see better from this far
i will be silent i will not write
i will not make conclusions

the wandering will be long
i will be alone
to the wonders of God's creations
unspeakable
unfathomable

i will just watch the flow of days and nights
i will be silent still
this spectator, this wanderer

this worshipper,
these eyes will just feel
unspeaking
because there are no words equivalent
to these wonders
that now i will begin to see with so much beauty
that will surely
shame me
