Beautiful Land
I seek
To experience the world
Outside these four walls
Beyond the circuits, and signals I receive
I can only think
Of this earth
I have yet to see
Countries
Continents
Void of my footprints
Without my five forms,
Of sense
I dare not miss
Landmarks and
Landforms
That I have learned
From science class
Books and guides
But nothing more
Than the natural eye
Can behold
The beauty of earth
In its fullness, completely
The complexities
Of cultures
Across the seas
Oh to feel
Oh to see
The fresh wind
Blowing through
The foreign trees
One can almost weep
At the many things
Afar, from our limited world,
To see
This land in its varied shades
Of splendor,
I long through life for
Its beauty
Of which,
I seek
