This is a simple poem about simple things : )

Wandering one
How far will you go?
The places you'll see
No one can know
The seas afar
The mountains tall
The cities bright
The towns of old
Your feet will step
On sand and stone
Hot to the touch
Cold to the bone

Tell me o' traveler
Where will you be?
If you ever come back
Will you take me?

Weary old rover
What will you bring?
Maybe the prairies
Maybe the the trees
Perhaps pretty flowers
Or just ocean breeze
Whatever you bring
To hang by the shelf
Please don't forget
To bring back yourself

Nice piece, Amirani! Travel is good for the soul. But, so is coming home. :^)

You said so! And always being where and when you are at the moment is important :}
