I Wonder

I wonder what it’s like

To build a house

To set ourselves free


I wonder what it’s like 

To see the stars 

How beautiful it would be


I wonder what it’s like

To hear the sizzle of an iron pan

To hike the narrow trails


I wonder what it’s like

To sludge through mud

To build a fire

To climb the crevices of a mountain


I wonder what it’s like to read a book

To rock gently on a rocking chair

To be covered in quilted blankets

To breathe the fresh air


I wonder what it’s like 

To wake up in the morning 

And see the rising sun


I wonder what it’s like

To see the tassels in the fields

To run through the colors

To taste the ground


I wonder what it’s like

To live there

To live in a fantasy

This piece was written spontaneously, something that I felt was hard to express into words. I tried to reimagine what I felt was a seemingly idealistic world, where life is simpler and nature is more interconnected with our lives.
