You are an explorer.
The very best;
You wander, searching every crevice
Not in a lustful manner, as though you are
Looking for gold: You are no conquistador.
But you wander-
Eager to discover that the world is not flat,
Eager to find the water route that leads to your
Own Pacific Ocean
Lewis & Clark
You glide over Mountains and Valleys and Treacherous Woods
That those before you were not allowed.
For the snow fell
And the ice froze,
But upon your arrival
All the glaciers liquefied
For easy passing
And while Mother Nature
Has been skeptical of men,
She submits with the touch of your hand.
The old way of things is gone;
A new era is dawning
The old world and new world are one
The Columbian exchange is in full swing
Because like Columbus,
When you arrived,
The world was never the same.
