The Twentieth Poem- Discovering Destinations

Discovering Destinations🌄

Universe! Show me those places,

Where no one has been before,

Tell me, ’cause I want to explore,

Are there still places humans have not touched?

Let me leave everything and get on

A magical journey to a land newfound;

Then pause there, and let the beauty sink in;

Feel in my veins, the pureness and the calmness of the wonder therein.

It’s so gratifying to realise that

There are places the world wants me to see;

Asking me to unlock the gates,

Then get in, and run, rent-free.

I feel a welcome fuelled by warmth,

By the elements of these spaces;

Seeing these places, I revel in awe,

That there’s no dearth in nature whatsoever.

I think that lucky are those,

Wise enough to relish such explorations;

And experience the nature firsthand,

What it’s like to be where no one has stepped before.

There are always places no one’s been to before,

Wait till you visit them, then you’ll be sure.

You most certainly will be dazzled too,

Thinking, “What took me so long to come to you?”

Let us always continue to explore and expand,

Discovering new locations around us and inside us;

Let us always delve deeper and be present,

For the world is ours to enjoy and thrive.
