Exploring and Expanding
Adventure runs through me

The path of adventure
runs through me,
leaving dividing lines
across my soul,
a rebel needing
to extend boundaries,
leaving home and family
I seek exploration
in life’s endless terrain,
unhook and unchain,
unloosen the mundane,
traveling amid chaos,
dwindling hope,
and small town limitations
To board ships and planes
to distant places,
see unfamiliar faces,
walk on foreign soil,
swim the vast oceans,
docking at every harbor
and port
I seek mind expansion,
strange horizons,
finding new ways to define myself,
languages to learn,
wandering the earth’s
light and shadow,
across the globe.
