Wanderlust

Sometimes you need to wander
Without a cause
Without purpose
Without a means
Without a reason for knowing why


Sometimes you need to wander
With lust
With purposeful lust
With a need to move from a stationary position
With no thoughts of a home
With no white picket fence

Sometimes you need to wander
Like down the Missouri River
Like a snowflake
Like a bouncing ball
Like a child with an imagination

To wander and wonder
What is on the other side of the moon
To wander to the moon because it might be pink

Maybe we spend our time wondering
Why we don't wander
Because we are afraid of the big wonder
If we were to wander

Maybe we spend our time wondering
Why we don't wander
Because we are afraid of facing loss
If we were to wander

Sometimes we need to wander
Because of a broken heart
Because time changes in small moments 

But the Earth wanders around the Sun
And the stars wanders through the empty Milky Way
And the bumble bee wanders away from the hive
And our hearts wanders with lust for a better home
And our hearts wanders with every humming beat of our
souls for a better moment
