The Destination

the destination

doesn’t matter

the hues of orange and blues

and morning

regard us all

the same

with a blissful hopeless wonder

that is a promise

of experience

captivating even the sleepiest

of participants

unwinding roads

green hills, uncut grass

on ramps peppered with a seasonal yellow

the bluest of clouds

that sooth the soul

and hypnotise the heart

just long enough

to forget the task at hand

the Destination is the well deserved retreat

from expectations.

so depart as often as needed

dream whenever necessary

walk if you have to

crawl if that’s all you can do

but never stop searching

for what drives you

-Rita Hunt
