Internal Wonder
There's a lover to discover,
to recover through romance;
to influence by pursuance, to first capture, then entrance.
There is travel to unravel,
to slip corral, to unpack;
to indenture, to adventure, to circle earth and come back.
There is lawn-grass that is greener,
that is lusher, that is dense;
that is master, that is faster, that is outside of the fence.
There is always some comparing,
some repairing, some envy;
some distinction, some extinction, some immoderate levy.
There is always someone stronger,
someone better, someone best;
someone dumber, someone smarter, someone no one can divest.
There is always something greater,
something straighter, something bent;
something sooner, something later, something nothing can prevent.
There is huge internal wonder
still to plunder, still explore;
still to relish and embellish, still to find the inner-core.
