If

I never left

I could not

understand

contentment.

For being

away

is the only

way

to come

home. 

Then

when

I stay

and 

wait,

the journey

feels 

a gift.

Without

one,

I can’t

truly

love

the other,

Travel:

‘tis 

a most

ingenious

paradox

Cue

the music.

Book

the trip.

Go away.
