Wanderlust
Jim Webster
 
He seeks an unattainable goal,
But still he moves on,
Undaunted, hopeful, determined.
Different languages, customs, ways of life,
Present themselves.
Obstacles block his path,
No solution is near,
Press on he must.
The road narrows,
Perspective broadens,
He falters.
His reason subjugates desire,
Ashamed but jubilant,
He turns homeward.
