The bench experience was definitely a unique one. I have never even heard of a project like this. I found it very easy to be inspired by my surroundings because they were so beautiful. This poem is a mixture of the inspiration I felt after reading the quote on the bench, and sitting and looking at the view of the sea. It is about a young person as they set off on a journey around the world from the West Coast and back again. It paints a very surreal image that would make anyone want to experience the pleasures of the sea. I hope you enjoy!
The wanderer
by Anna La Lau
A breeze
Such a simple little thing
But the way it rustles the grass
causes the crickets to sing
The water
so very vast and blue
Will roll on for eternity
Look, it's beckoning you
Come, come my wandering child
Hear the sea is calling
From raging storms to weather mild
Listen as the seabid cries, galling
White sails
They unfold to catch the wind
We're off to the races now!
all our faces grin
The Ocean
It has captured my soul
head for open water
There I am finally whole
Come, come my wandering child
Hear the sea is calling
From raging storms to weather mild
Listen as the seabird cries, galling
Eternity
It seems too long for some
But if i could sail my whole life long
The happiest I'd become
Home
I shall return once in a while
But only to wash my clothes
And leave for another exotic isle
Come, come my wandering child
Hear the sea is calling
From raging storms to weather mild
listen as the seabird cries, galling
A Laser Two, The type of boat I raced, and taught other young people to race
