A Poem about a Journey

I want to go places
I've never been
see people
I've never seen
dream dreams
I've not yet dared to dream
find out what God's
put inside of me
what he's put inside
of them

 

discover what else lies

among these hills

figure out how this world

connects

how these roads lead away into

far off lands

that no one else has

dared to set foot on,

 dared to travel into.

There's a road of discovery
a sound that's been calling my name
ever since I could walk on my own
a sound that
leaks into my dreams
into my ear each time I
close my eyes
I constantly dream about the world




and the way God crafted it

And when I'm all done

with these wild adventures

chances are that I will run back

to the place I call home

until I wake up and discover

the sound that's calling me again.
