The Traveler Who Drank an Oasis

For the poet, the true traveler is not the one who has walked the world, but the one who has walked far enough to hear their own racing heartbeat. The true traveler does not seek to quench the thirst from outside, but already has an oasis within. For the poet, this state of the traveler comes from experiencing the stories of happiness and pain and continuing walking even if it is a lonely walk. In such walks, what stays are the thoughts, which come as poems to the poet. The poems reflect the world as seen from the eyes of a wanderer who is following the directions of their heart. The poet relies heavily on personification of human emotions such as through a river flow or sometimes through the voices of the moon, sky, or a bird to bring out a desire for oneness in life. The poet's journey has polished their rusted heart and now their heartbeat, growing louder with every moment, helps them to communicate thoughts and seek resonance with the heartbeat in others. The poems invite the readers to plunge into this oasis and watch the sunrise together.
