When One Follows Poem by vern eaker

When one follows their heart
Searching to fulfill a desire
Not always doing what’s smart
Unsure as to what may transpire

Excitement tainted by fear
Anxieties enhanced with relief
Seeking pleasures not found here
In much farther places your belief

Prospects of euphoric places
Dreams of ideal destinations
Filled with happy smiling faces
Time alone for contemplation

Meeting new friends on the way
Exploring sights unseen before
New discoveries made each day
Embarking on a self seeking tour
