Description
My Journey
So I’m home
After another journey
A trip that took me
So far away
Sometimes I felt almost lost
A trip that took me
Places I’d never been
To see people I’d never seen
And some I’d not seen for
A very long time
Something I noticed
In all these roads traveled
Things are so familiar
Everywhere you go
And yet so very different
Looking back at all these roads
At all my adventures
I rejoice that I made this trip
Saw these people
Saw these things
For it all touches me
To my very soul
Thrills me
Gives me chills
And pleases me profoundly
To know that this world
Is full of such wonder
Such sights
So many people
And I’ve barely begun
So now I’m back
In my little corner
Of the world
Unpacking both my bags
And my mind
Sifting through things
Sorting them out
But most of all
I’m sifting and sorting
All these things
In my heart and in my soul
For that is truly where
They will always live
And where I can go back
And see and feel
The wonder of it all

What a beautiful reflective poem. I could feel your emotions in your words. Your photo fits so well with the poem, Marilyn. I'm happy you had such a wonderful trip, with so many terrific memories.

It sounds very much like you enjoyed your trip across America, all the way to the 'other coast', to the 'other sea'. Also all the things along the way both going and coming back. I am sure your senses are still on overload, your mind on the boil, from all that you have seen and done. No matter how much you have enjoyed this freetime, it's always nice to come home. Wonderful prose as ever, and a beautiful scene to accompany it. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

Whenever you travel, I always looks forward to the images you share with all of us, here. It's almost like you take us along...just to share the ride.

That's really nice, Marilyn, but imagine if you had to take the trip via covered wagon or stage coach, like in days of old. Now that would have been a long odyssey, both in time and distance.
