Life Expedition

Send me on a journey

to nowhere,

a one-way ticket

out of here.

Home I carry with me,

so it doesn’t matter if I return.

Coming back this way

might be more painful than the leaving.

Knowing not where the path

will take me,

seeking new adventure ahead,

finding fresh roads to walk

can heal a tired and wounded soul.

Time travels with me,

leaving behind distant memories.

Shelter can be found in unexpected places,

where discovered doors

open worlds of possibility,

and welcome a weary wanderer.
