Masego Nkuna Poet Verse

Travel

It was this world’s most popular word people use for a fancy trip they take “Travel”

My definition was a mile’s journey taken from one place to another in life 

I moved from painful events as I transitioned into all sorts of places
My happy ones filled with flowers 
My sad ones filled with anxiety and depression making this journey all worth it like four seasons as each one has its beautiful definition 

I used the travel word as I verbally went through counselling to align my soul with my body, mind and spirit and crossed over the road less travelled

Many people travel using different travel mediums such as cars, busses, planes, boats and the likes 
With me, it is always different and blossoming 
Nothing like what others use to be transported to their destinations 
With me, my travels are always my life experiences 

I had variations without even thinking about my own moods, but as a writer 
I needed to know just when to double my final consonant and when I should not 

I deviated from my practice only when I used this word “Travel” no matter my stress pattern as my final consonant doubled 

With this word came determining factors of places, memories and friends I made along this journey
