The Wonderer

The Wonderer

This is the Wonderer’s way,

the Wanderer’s way,

the journey of a thousand questions,

each with a thousand more.

This is the Socrates way,

the way of undoing,

of stripping away.

This is the Solitude way,

the thunder of infinite questions

echoing silent in the eternal void.

This is the Discovery way,

the never-knowing,

always-asking way

that spins me in wild choreography

to the music of stars

and the rhythm of life.

This is the Dancing way,

the Living way,

the filled-with-wonder way.

This is the Come-to-the-End-and-Begin-Again way,

the way of death

and resurrection

every day.

I honestly love everything about this poem. The lyrical feel and the tempo it beats; it is wonderful to read aloud. I can also relate with it so very strongly! This is just excellent.

Thank you Precia. I enjoy the beat and rhythm of this one, too.
