Image result for wonders of travel

Wide, this grand world, with occurrences, rife On the foam-capped blue, for a seafarer's life Rich, the adventurer's sojourns shall be ... Launching deep dreams on a mutable sea. Daring, the soul who can take to the sky Cast off the weights of this marble and fly Rending mundane for the magic of travel Undreamt-of mysteries await to unravel. In sky or on rail, on surface or sea ... Savor the journey and all it should be Enjoy, as scores don't, the gift ... to be FREE! ~ 1st Place ~ in the "World Cruise Acrostic" Poetry Contest, Kevin Shaw, Sponsor.
