We leave behind familiar land
Everything we know
Onward onto unknown road
Forward we will go
Under endless summer sky
Refreshing breeze so pure
Tempted by our destination
An ever-addictive lure
A heart dances like a flame
In the fire of excitement
Mind free of emotional stress
The traveller enlightens
Sunshine wakes me from a sleep
How far have we traveled?
Unfamiliar sights and sounds
My mind slowly unraveled
Twilight guided us as we slept
The moons eternal glow
Now the sun our guiding light
It tells us where to go
Silence all around us
Not one uttered sound
Taking in the scenic views
Destination bound
The land it quickly changes
To silhouette form
Awash with feelings so unknown
A true break from the norm
The clouds they now open
Rain washes smiles away
The fear of never seeing home
They seem here to stay
Through sheer determination
We will make it through
The voyagers committed cause
Binds us all like glue
A spectrum of survival
Blazes up the sky
Laughter fills the air once more
One triumphant sky
Over hill and round the bend
The journey almost done
Final moments traveled slow
We drive into the sun
Our eyes washed with emotional
Our hearts they beat so fast
Together my friend the road is done
Home lies in the past
