Wanderlust

The ties of time and tide bestride 
the man who leads a life confined 
by clock and compass.
He who treasures earthly pleasures
worldly-wide has a better measure of his soul 
than time or tide could e'er provide.

There are so many wonders in the world to behold and the more we experience the more we have to measure against. I like philosophy. I think I would have enjoyed stuying it, if I had gone to college, I'm sorry to say. I love to learn. Oh, and I love words too (lol). Great write! Keep us thinking! Love Robin
