Travel

Being yourself
In a foreign land
Is to leave old shoes
And counterpane

Take a risk
Among new friends
To discover Earth
Through shared lens

Allow that light
To overwhelm
The journey forward
And back again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
