Both a Wanderer and Wonderer
I am both a wanderer and a wonderer
I wonder if you are as well
it seems that perhaps
you too may have been dusted
with the enchantment
of being a wanderer and wonderer
I know being a wanderer and a wonderer
can make life a bit challenging
and at times
perhaps a tad lonely
but I am not sure
I could have it any other way
could you
I was born with the need to wander
both near and far
to see in person
what is photographed in books
to touch with my hands
what was created by both man and God
to taste for myself
what was made from the earth and sea
I cannot help but wonder
about who first trekked the path I walk
or how they felt with each step they took
or if there was someone by their side
when they gazed upon the wonder
which I now view
did the moment stir them on
or was it the answer
to an unasked question
which finally led them to stop wandering
can one stop wandering or wondering
would you want to live without
wandering and wondering
no
I do not think so either
I am both a wanderer and a wonderer
