This is a tale of marvel and wonder
Of adventure and treasures
So full of Splendor
Not gold, nor money could ever compare
To allow yourself to be free of all care
To absorb a new scent, to learn a new thing
Curiosity, what a curious thing
But, I digress from the adventure at hand
I must now tell you about this man
He packed his belongings
Yearning for something new
He undertook an adventure to grow, he grew
Left his family and friends with a heavy heart
But deeper down he knew, he needed the fresh start
He traveled miles upon miles to a foreign land
He knew not the language, nor how to get around
But quickly he learned to open his mind,
His heart did follow close behind
He adapted and grew
With friendships anew
Bond deeper than oak roots
Friends truer than true
He felt he learned about the world and himself too
He felt he had re-blossomed
Like the spring flowers in bloom
An awakening of the spirit,
A stimulant to the mind
These are the treasures that will last a lifetime.
The moral of the tale is simple as this….
Experience, indulge, and give this big world a look
It’s never too late to rewrite your book.

The mind of the traveler is a wonderful thing
Curious, inquisitive
The attitude of a traveler is a wonderful thing
Open, kind, & respectful
The life of a traveler is a wonderful thing
Stores, adventures, & memories

I have loved,
I have lost
But, the saddest part….
Most of them never even know
How, loved they were
How,
Lost
I was

The fields are green
Lush in the spring
The flowers, a welcome sight
For the winter was cold
And the wind it blew bold
It chilled the bones in the night

Those ticks
These tocks
This endless paradox
The clocks, they haunt me so
Too fast
Too slow
No control
Less, needing more
To it I'm a feast

The heart can be fickle
It can waver and wander
It does things that make you really wonder
And sometimes we marvel at all of its wonder
It makes us cry and really feel pain
It makes us smile, dance, and laugh in the rain
It’s our most trusted friend and worst enemy
But most of all it’s yours to give
Live life beautifully

I don’t know when it went wrong
I don’t know how to make it right
All I know is I lay in bed sleepless at night
Mulling mistakes and words left unsaid
Pondering why I fled, I fled, I fled
Scared to lose what was already there
Scared to find out what you left unsaid
Rejection, fear, shame that I had
Confidence lacking
I feel so scared
Loneliness aches, deep in the soul
Confusion perpetuated by words left unsaid
