A thousand miles I traversed this land
A mere two years ago.
Freedom, a new start – yet
So little and so much has changed

Freedom I sought then – funny
I still seek the same now
Geography a lesson learned
But freedom from within must come

Dig deep, fast, and diligently
Find that spark; that glow
The fire in the belly that once
Drove me to new heights

The temptation to travel grows
The thought of starting over again
The reasoning, rationalizing –
But there it’d be the same.

I, too, am a traveler, so this writing is easy to relate to.  The thing is, I have found that no matter where I go, life is basically the same.  So, the secret must be to welcome the changes daily, then stay put to enjoy them!!  Enjoyed your write here!!  ~~V~~

Thank you for your comments. It's been a while since I have published to the site.

Nothing hurts more than sitting next to the one you love - knowing it will never be.
