With years of miles

Behind me

I’ve travelled

A strange world

Chasing salvation

While playing house

Before the words

Reached my mind

The trails were waiting

And my feet were ready

A race

In search of home

Movement

Leading the way

To knowledge

And challenge

Pushing transformation

The spirit and the skin

Twining together

In an inseparable knot

Planted

Through the soles

Of my feet

Around every corner

A new discovery

Waiting for me

As soon

As my laces

Are tied ~ Caroline A. Slee
