Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Wilderness Envisioning

Sometimes, I roam a lush green forest...
                 in my mind; birds sing a chorus

               Being one with nature and admiring
                        it's magnificent splendor;
                              all it has to offer

                         Sometimes I envision...
                            surrendering freely
                   to the beauteous wilderness.
                   Once in a blue moon, I'd hike 
                            up the mountains 
                    where the rarified air is thin.
                          I'd sit at the summit
                  in a tabula rasa state of mind
                           as if lost in time;
                                surveying 
                              the vast sea
                          of tall green trees.
                          I'd picture myself
                                  standing
                                 at the top 
                             with my hands
                               outstretched
                      like Leonardo DiCaprio
                        in the movie, "Titanic,"
                                 exclaiming...
                    "I'm the king of the world!"

                          magnificent sights
                       wilderness envisioning...
                             in full surrender
