A sunset, a sunrise, a storm cloud, a field that is blooming, a tree that is dying, all these things and more can be beautiful. One just has to look around and pay attention to the small things in life. To be like a traveler in one’s own surrounding enables us to see it with new eyes. To be like a traveler enables us to be more grateful. Those thoughts inspired me to write this poem.
Traveler
Be like the traveler here
Leaving moist footsteps
Wondering the sphere
–
A traveler knows its aim
Avoiding lewdness- indecency
And its encompassing shame
–
So be like the morning dew
A mirage of beauty, brace yourself
The better place awaits you
