Fair to middlin' of nowhere

In the big blue sea
I set adrift one day
to see what I could see
I set sail to find my
my lost paradise
and found treasures
along the way
I came across an island
filled with exotic and rare
places to explore
that nothing could compare
I was enraptured
by my adventures there
Sights that touched my soul
took me by surprise
and changed me to this day
My moon waxed and waned
the tide it did return
me to the shores of home
with pockets full of sand
memory souveniers

Fantastic meandering, Lori. If we can experience fullness as we go our merry way through life, sampling different things and foreign sand we have done well. Just as you have done well explaining that concept here.

Sometimes when you reach that "paradise" you find it nothing but a letdown... It's then those treasures along the way are truly appreciated.
