The traveller in me
Seeks to unravel the unknown
Armed with the knowledge
Of what is so far known

Yet how do I know what I truly seek
When I am all at sea
Searching blindly with eyes open
Amidst all that I can see

Unknown faces, unknown places
Unknown my destination
Unknown my immediate itinerary, and
Unknown my ultimate situation

New experiences, unique lands
Expected and unexpected sights
Where the unknown and the known
Intermingle with rare delight

Where the I in me begins to evolve
To a different I, hitherto unknown
Creating a new I, each moment
Far from the one that is known
