Wandering to Nowhere

Who I am. Who we all are

If wandering to somewhere is what people do
I will wander to nowhere to find something new
Undiscovered worlds, broken walls and waterfalls
If becoming part of society is the required norm
I will break the rules and venture into the storm
New faces, car chases, forget the restrictions of bases
If being afraid is normal to all who watch the news
I will turn it off, look away, and cut the fuse
Reading books under a tree, taking walks by the sea
If being a romantic is looked down upon in today's earth
I will travel back in time to the beginning of my birth
Slow dancing in the rain, making love on a speeding train
I will wander to nowhere to be somewhere

Now, this poem is all about me. My mom called me, one night, and I was crying; when she asked me what I was crying about, I told her the television news. She, brillliantly, said, "Well, turn it off." I did and haven't listened to it, since. I love the road less traveled, before I feel like an explorer; I, always, find what few dare to seek--peace and tranquility! Great poem, Chris; you hit the nail on the head with this one, in my book!

Wonderfull just wonderful, it gives one a sense of adventure and a bit of pride if they regularly go against the grain of society. This is one of those rare finds making me smile and want to get out and do something. Very good. Keep Writing.

To deviate from usual is an adventure, yet the challenges are still there. I like the thought anyway. It's like getting lost and be found. Wandering To Nowhere is indeed an exciting journey to engage in. Keep writing.

wandering to nowhere to find something new. An intriguing concept. This is nicely penned. Peace.

The first two lines sound like a hook to a song. I love the idea behind this piece. It reminds me of the Frost poem about the "two roads diverged".

Wow, I love it. I agree with you so much and it's refreshing to see someone who dares to be different. I think the world would be a much better place if people thought for themselves intead of going with everyone else.

Anyway, wonderful presentation. The poem flows well and I love the way you ended it. Nicely done.
