Other Worlds Magnificence// Imaginings As I Wander & Roam// Journey One

Today I shall sail away

To other worlds where for a season I will stay
With a deep knowing that these places and faces I shall behold
Are not my place of origin or where I am meant to forever be.
Yet for seasons without end as a sojourner, I will roam.

I will explore the wanderlust

Of Fenghuang, Hunan, China that is always on my mind

And because I dare not drive the winding roads of the Tiananmen Mountains

I will rise to the air to behold the glory of this edifice that can only be appreciated and digested from a great distance.

And my feet will touch the ground of magical places that speak volumes to life

Without ever uttering a word

Yet still they speak a language of the beauty that only nature can bring

As it expresses and unfolds its otherworld uniqueness

And its what we behold in these awe-inspiring places so splendid

And our experience of it all that may teach us if we listen

To seek out the precious and abundant things in life that

Cannot be priced, and this is the truth concerning such things.
And we will not tarry with such foolish imaginings.

And as I wander my mind whisk me away to ponder and wonder

About bubbles as they are found in nature

And as I settle back and allow the little girl in me to come forth

Overriding my journey with her curious thoughts of the whimsical
We soar off to find bubbles of a variety of kinds.

After allowing my inner-child to imagine and have her say

I will now yield to an inner churning and a longing to
Become one with Wisteria.

Your lavender and purple hues

Cleanses and purifies my soul
You have beckoned me once again
To return to your presence
That I may be reinvigorated by your essence
And as you surround me with your lavender beauty
