Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Answering Your Query

“Tell me, what it is you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
  [The Summer Day ~ Mary Oliver]
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

 
I plan to travel far and wide
across the mountains, oceans deep.
The roaming wind will be my guide.

The gods will watch me from above
and fruit of wisdom help me reap.
My heart will taste the joy of love.
