Into the East

Can we please spend another day dreaming of foreign lands? Yesterday I needed that breath of quiet as a means of escape. Today I hope to use it as means of inspiration as I step through the doorway out of the shade of my melancholy into the light of a renewed spirit.

It is no great secret that my soul does not belong in America but rather in the Banyan trees and rice fields of the East. I know the history there would seep up through my toes and a connection far older than my 28 years would be completed.

What do you say Mme.? Will you sail away with me for one more day? Under a blue sky heavy with thunder, in a boat big enough for two?

  1. oh dear dear me, this is so easy on my tired eyes.

    i too walk through those doors with you - having honored my melancholy well with baths and tears - and now step into hope of austerity.

    my soul belongs in the french riviera and almafi coast of italy - too bad our souls are so far away.

    at least our bodies can reside only 112 feet from the other.

    breathing deeply due to your post, soul, and love.
