Along this cliff,
along this path where the big rock lays,
and where the flowers are,
the bright flowers,
the yellow flowers the colour of the sun,
I sit,
I sit upon the rock,
and I ponder the waves,
and wonder how far they have come,
and wonder how far they are going,
and wonder of what lies beneath under the shining sun,
and I wonder,
I wonder when my boat will come,
when my boat will come to take me,
far away for my travels are near,
and I am in my enthusiasm saying goodbye,
goodbye to everywhere I knew,
and the people that I have loved for I am gone,
forever gone from this land,
for I have my journeys,
I have my plans,
I have few things,
and I do not need much just enough to clothe me,
just enough to shield me from the sun,
for the sea it leads on,
and my path to a new life it has only just begun,
and here I will sit upon the cliff,
and I will drink a little wine and eat and paint,
and imagine the beautiful places so far away,
so, far away but yet to come,
and I will look forward to seeing places new,
and in them I will find inspiration,
and I will revel in the wonders that are revealed,
in many foreign lands,
and from shore to shore and ocean to ocean,
and across the glorious Earth,
I will be happy wherever I stand,
for in each footstep and in each exploration,
there is so much to feed the mind,
and so much to feed the soul,
and all the time in the world, and all the places to go,
and every place will be photographed and videod,
and painted I am sure,
and I will be soon heading for the horizon,
with a smile on my face,
never to be seen here again forevermore,
and how my heart will rise and be filled with happiness,
and how my mind will lift to the skies,
and how glorious my travels will be for here,
I am no longer me, and I long to be me again,
I long to be rejuvenated,
and in my journeys, I will be I am sure,
for freshness and brightness,
and newness comes with the excitement of exploration,
and in my explorations, I will never be bored,
for I will always be moving on, and never stopping too long,
and I will be me, a new me, a better me,
a better me than before.
