My Four-Corner Meadow

into the unknown with a goal

I walk into a room

Of foreign soil and unknown breeze.

New saplings sprout greedily for knowledge

As they strive to flourish to reach the sky.

In this four-corner area,

These saplings will stop at nothing to prosper.

As this new field of lush trees of dreams

Will soon fill the vast world with vitality.

I think this one is really describing an attitude instead of a location. The speaker is venturing into uncharted territory, but the outlook comes across as openness rather than anxiety. The imagery is all about possibilities and growth. Happy trails to you.

Interesting! Based on your tag #college life and the poem, it seems you are talking more specifically about the first time a student steps into a college classroom. And might i say, wow I can relate to this alot ! I can remekber what it was like to step inti a college classdoom. It was so different from what i was used to in highschool and I was eager to listen to what the professor had to say and witness my first lecture. Those days just never come again. We all come to college with a goal, we leave with that goal in mind and the skills to meet it. Nicely written!
