Wanderluv. (Impressions on a Roadtrip)

Dreamy soul

dreamy heart

Where do your thoughts

cast you this time?

Away!

from the balmy temperament

of the Texan dome

And set sail on a journey of joy

Leave behind that humid Houston

Zip past Texarkana

and its weird attempt at clever

What do you think

Do the bayous of La. stink

and gators slither majestic still?

Savor!

the manicured undulations

of your carefree joyride

through Arkansas

Ahh...

Nothing but road and sky!

Do the rolling hills of Tennessee

spellbind you in

irresistible awe

And glorious peaks still

chasing heavenward?

Ahh...

Nothing but road and sky!

Flash by those silent

Kentuckian forests

Scrape of rubber on tar

and Faith

your only guides through

the still nights of discovery

Get lost in the expanse

of The Mississippi’s marvel

Doesn’t the surface mirror

the vastness of space

and the quickening of time?

Go on!

Pass through the bridgegate

like a portal into -

Wow!

The lofty shine of Cincinnati

like a city of elves

Columbus beckons!

The cuddle and gentle repose

of Reynoldsburg

lie in enduring wait

to make kings and queens

of dreamy sojourners

Days roll

Benefits of daring

having thoroughly outweighed risks

of tarrying in the shackles of

comfort zones

Dreamy eyes wave reluctant Byes

to friends become family

Dreamy soul

longing heart

Where do your thoughts

cast you this time?

Back to the humid hustle

of H-Town

Are those grins

or groans and grumblings?

Fear is nothing but a snare

Turn arms into wings

and go see the world

Home is wherever the heart is

Ahh...

Nothing but road and sky.
