Arrival

Carried my bags across
In search of who?
I did not know them

Trust was put to a test
From the beginning
Sweat beads drip

Carrying the bags
As they rest heavy on my back
The weight of my anxiety

I found them
And had to trust
That they would bring me safely

The soundtrack was pleasing
Seeking comfort in music

Eight hours
     Eight hours
        Eight hours

Sunlight to sunset
Destination achieved


A familar face finally comes to the door
Of this house I do not know

She comes to pick us up
She the backbone of the trip
The planner

She takes us on a trip
To meet another stranger
I have never done this before

Faith in strangers is constant on this journey
Pleased in what we have received from him

Celebrations at her house
On the patio
The open air is needed

Alas, I’ve arrived. My peaceful escape from life.
Here I find some comfort in the unknown
So many questions
Another day for worries

The hazes lulls me to sleep
Calms my weary head
"Rest up, we have a long three days ahead"

My head hits the pillow
Where are the bright lights?
Where is the big city?
Only left now to dream big dreams
