#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 21

Traveling unrestrained
The vast wilderness
Floating on clouds
Making mistakes
Capturing the bliss
Of throwing care
To the whistling winds
That was meant to be
Our universal destiny.
But look at us now
And all our messy lives
Seeking happiness,
In paper money
Living in castles
Built of dead trees
On barren lands
Failing to behold
Nature that throbs
With the power
Of just being!
Poetry inspired by the book cover for F.A Pouchet. The Universe: The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little. 13th edition. London: Blackie & Son, ca. 1896 — Source.
