Travel To Far Destinations Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Sometimes
travel
to far

destinations

is a drug
moments
not

to be missed

morph
crystallize
sleep

frustration missed

is release
catch into
an entire

night's travel

possibilities
expectations
adventures

long awaited

reunions
hold pleasing
promises

diverse implications

lost sleep
is regenerated
in segments

stolen moments naps

of leeward later down
time satisfaction
enjoy heart's journeys

pleasures reunions

after testing obstacles
impeding departures
exhaustive workloads

economic necessity

trials of emotive
flux ping pong
table bounce resolve

net ill timed responses

soon it will be time
to rest relax rejoice
with long missed

return years unseen

old friends family
in far off home halls
ephemeral memories

old new weaving

new restorative energies
enjoy regeneration breaks
affirmation change ties

smiling for new lives

will catch you
in the heartbeats
of happiness
