FernwehA Poem by Tim EdwardsFernweh n (genitive Fernwehes or Fernwehs, no plural) wanderlust, a desire to travel, a longing for far-off places
Wandering this desolate plane of existence; hoping for a way out.
A realization, perhaps an epiphany, that the constant streams of humanity wander parallel to one another. Everybody striving for the chance to thrive. One glance at the giant picture on the horizon, a scoff, a shrug. Rather, we focus on the imagined slights against our way of life. Revel in the insignificance, celebrate your naivety. Finally, a thought pushes to the forefront. An understanding that no one really knows. After a good chuckle, my wandering is resumed. Whistling all the while.
