Travel

My memory is shot

And I'm sick of all these broken promises

But I'm so wrapped up in this quilt of questions

I'll wait it out, eyes vacant at times



After seeing rock turn to dust

And strong foundations crumble

I'll test the swinging bridge's strength

Before entrusting it with my weight



With the darkness came the light

Solar eclipse, lunar, seeing...double?

These universes are real

An exhilarating orbit, sightseeing



My eternal journey will continue

A brief tryst in another place

Extravagant, exquisite wings unfold

Pausing to perch on the moon



Allowing the flood of memories

Discarding unnecessary bandages

Curled up in a warm blanket of affirmation

Content, smiling eyes...drift off into sleep

                                  into space
