The Destination

Hope springs eternal in the land of the open mind and heart

Steadfast they move towards that which never left their sight

Yet those who have lost faith in their fellow travellers

Will never see the beauty of stars hiding behind the darkness of night.

Or how they glow in streams of silver moonlight 

Basking in their own piece of heaven

Painting pictures of unimaginable places

Places unsullied by course hands and insipid minds,

The back packers delight, their own personal unicorn,

A nautical point to which lifes’ compass beckons.

Forcing introspection, for the weary eyes of such travellers

And reconsideration of a once certain headings
