My Wanderlust Cure

 










I’ve traveled to faraway places,

Via trains on iron rails,

And Cruise ships run on fossil fuels,

Others powered by wind blown sails.

 

I’ve flown three generations of planes,

Propellers, jet-props and jets,

Exploring untouched wonders

That the tourist industry forgets.

 

I crisscrossed the South Dakota plains

Even the Polynesian Isles…

While some collected postage stamps,

I collected my unexplored miles.

 

The transportation in the end,

That provided my wanderlust cure…

Were my own footsteps on mossy trails

Under the tall Redwoods of Big Sur.
