written last december, dont know why its coming out now.

souvenirs of a traveller

You lived your life on the road
A little lost
A little rough
Around the edges from having to
Adjust to the bends and curves
Of an uneven way
And its been awhile
Since the last stop
Since the last cup of coffee with
Someone familiar

You take your meals
In roadside inns
Of comfortandcleanliness
And meet all sorts of people
Showing your charming side
Your backpack of tricks and jokes
Keep them amused
You exchange numbers on small pieces of paper
That are lost among bunches of keys
And the flotsam souvenirs of a traveller

But you’ve been an adventurer
And the city lights welcome you
Like an old friend
The roads are a refuge
For they always carry
The promise of movement

The day is dawning on
Another landscape
And the cold sunlight
Is leaving little room
For mysticism or hope
It shows how far you’ve come
And how much further
Is the drive
Back home.
