mastery

to travel takes us back to where we start

all journeys have good learning as their end

but no one can go further than their heart

 

we seek a place from which pain must depart

leaving us healthier and with a friend

to travel takes us back to where we start

 

where all our bags are piled upon the cart

yet we can see those folk who will not bend

but no one can go further than their heart

 

so we have gone unto a place apart

to understand but not to reprehend

to travel takes us back to where we start

 

into the torment that must make us smart

beyond the certain hope which we defend

but no one can go further than their heart

 

therefore we master the creative art

that teaches us the ways in which to blend

to travel takes us back to where we start

but no one can go further than their heart
