A truly interesting composition! The topic you speak on seems to be the on-going human chase of self-sovereignty and freedom. To begin at the end, I must say that calling the boundary-filled path of those that came before us and many of whom are still here around us a 'well worn' one is very powerful.
This is a superb call for people to drop the 'wickedness' of the past and begin to carve a new way for themselves and ultimately for man as a whole. The caressing of our sense of self by the scent of the wilderness - the unknown - evokes a beautiful image and strongly supports the idea of hope embedded deeply in us all, especially the seekers and those who take the necessary steps toward freedom.
'Hope arrives in waves' - this cyclical nature of the ocean, which is a great metaphor for hope, mingles with the nature of time as a whole and entertains the idea of history being a wave pattern of crests and throughs - ups and down - in which we are mere observers; in the same way we witness waves come and go, the tide come in and then retract, we are nothing more than witnesses of the cycles of time - history.
Thank you for sharing this nice piece of poetry with us all!
