To the West
The deep blue ocean
To the East mountains
High as the open sky

It was a year or so getting here
And it’ll take likely just as long
To get back to where we started from

The trek’s been hard
And not particularly safe or comfortable
There’s more than some who would
And will wonder why

Truth is a man’s
Young and strong enough
To follow a dream like this
Only once in his life

After which
There’s plenty of time

For a wife kids
And being tied to a horse

Going round and round
In the same old fields
In Tennessee

"To the West
The deep blue ocean
To the East mountains
High as the open sky"...between blues..between calmness and beauty.

"It was a year or so getting here
And it’ll take likely just as long
To get back to where we started from"....we are all travelers...but go back to the start? in the line of time, how does one go back?  either a new start or a new dream of the back then.

"The trek’s been hard
And not particularly safe or comfortable
There’s more than some who would
And will wonder why"....the meaning of the travel only to the traveler

"Truth is a man’s
Young and strong enough
To follow a dream like this
Only once in his life"....the value

"After which
There’s plenty of time"...opportunity cost

"For a wife kids
And being tied to a horse"...family the goal

"Going round and round
In the same old fields
In Tennessee".... boring life. Yesterday, one of my friend  drove up to the mountain after a fight with her husband. Today, people use cars and life is not that boring. it is very dramatic, sir!

beautiful poem as always. enjoyed!
