A Poem To Spark Up Your Wanderlust For That Certain Somewhere
I have an urge
to be
somewhere
where I’m not.
I want to be
a vagabond,
a bird of passage,
a wanderer,
an adventurer.
I want to wake up
in a city that isn’t mine
and to be lost
in a sea of
faces I don’t recognize.
I am in love
with the sounds of languages
I don’t understand
and the scents of
foods my tongue has never felt.
I have an urge
to be
somewhere
that isn’t here.
I want to chase pavements
of streets I don’t know
the names of
and to explore towns
without maps to show the way.
I want to be somewhere
where I am a nobody;
to drift unplanned
and to take wrong turns
ending up
in the middle of nowhere.
I want to take
my backpack and go;
to return only when my shoes
are battered
and my suitcase
is filled to the brim
with memories
and stories.
I just have an urge
to be
somewhere.
