Distances I Traveled

All my adventures are at an end, and the treasure I have salvaged over the years, I have stored away. The map that guides locked safely in the many memories of distant places visited. Shorelines that always gave rise to curiosities of what lies over a horizon are now just resting places to revisit travels. Distances I traveled, careless, winning over the moments taking a piece of wealth to enjoy in my twilight years. Precious memories re-examined, reliving the experience, enjoying life’s cuisine and leaving my audience with tears of joy. I have been blessed, my life a book written with subplots of valor, infidelities and admiration. Challenging situations in dark places and stepping out on faith overcoming hostel environments. Seeking, always looking for the forbidden fruits, savoring the flavors proudly displaying my conquest. The many lives I have influenced and those that have touched mine. Are but the many gifts presented in the years I planted the seeds of my existence. I have used my time, sometime recklessly and sometime wisely, but I used it to the fullness ether way. I have no regrets, I loved, I lost, and I made friends and enemies. There is not much more I can do, but what ever is left cannot compare to the adventures I have already experienced. Therefore, as I walk off into the sunset I tip my hat to a life well lived.
