A World Away

I'm a world away from everyone
I love or I hold dear;
Yet still, I am delighted
To be situated here.

My usual routines are all
On temporary hold.
Each day is like a big surprise
Just waiting to unfold.

I'm breaking bread with strangers,
Both enlightening and fun.
Perhaps a few will turn to friends
Before the tour is done.

A world away's a perfect place
For anyone to roam,
As long as there's a ticket back
To those we left at home.

Your last stanza concluded this nicely. May we always have that desire for travel and new experiences, but never forget our roots!

We dream about these wonderful places. Where beach's and sunshine a tourist embraces. But there in our heart it is hard to impart our feeling for familiar faces. Peace. :)
