Wanderlust

I want to see every piece of the world

and not understand exactly what I'm looking at.

I want to wake up to the engine hum

and see distant districts unfolding below me.

I want to wonder what nations I passed

 and not care how long sleep has kept me sheltered.

I want to be noiseless in the deafening world

and to be stunned in the silence of the grand cathedrals.

I want to be so quiet that my exhaling surprises me

and I have to remember to breathe through the stupefaction.

I want to find places where I don't desire to fit in

and simply existing is enough to make me feel whole.

I love the poem, it resonates with my personal feelings. The rhythm was easy to find and that allowed the poem to flow smoothly this gets a 100 from me :)

Nicely written. I love the line that says "i want to be so quiet that my exhaling surprises me". It just meant so much. Keep it up!

Nice poem.... your curiosity to see places even when you do not fit in really defines your urge for travel and adventure
