Wanderlust

The hearts of youth long to wander
Through streets of a foreign locale.
Pass the gates of Chinese temples
And row down Venetian canals. 

An unrelenting urge pulses through 
The Veins of youth who quickly move;
Place to place seeking distracting solace
From pressures they feel the need to prove.
