The Peripatetic
(per-uh-puh-tet-ik) noun. one who spends their time wandering.
The Peripatetic has finely-tuned ears
that hark to a marching song only she hears.
Her bones are beset with the impulse to wander
summits and pathways forever beyond her.
Impelled by a longing from deep in her soul,
she’s bound on a quest with a nebulous goal.
No matter how stunning or distant the shore,
she’ll never stop wandering, searching for more.
