I’m writing these words
Without too much to say
Except that I’m thinking
Of you on this day
Our words are so fleeting
Like birds in the sky
They often say what
And seldom say why
I’m writing these symbols
Without riddle or code
Except that life’s cipher
Unlocks love on the road
Our letters are bottles
That float on the sea
They reach distant shores
And set their words free
I’m writing this letter
Without reason or rhyme
Except that our bonding
Transcends space and time

Life in Transit: Favourite Travel & Tribute Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together travel and tribute poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology pays tribute to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Barack Obama, Antoni Gaudí & Leonardo da Vinci, and reflects on travels ranging from China and South Africa to Ecuador and Russia. Life is lived in the in-between / In transit / Between coming and going / Between staying and moving on / Between here and there / And what we call home / What we call settled or contented / Is merely a resting place / A station for refuelling / A nexus for reconnecting / A junction for changing direction.
