The Traveller (That Does Not Move)


Traveller [ Inspired by the story "Going Places" by A. R. Barton ] I'm a traveller I've been going places My dreams and my thoughts My mind races I'm the traveller that does not move But I've been going places My whole life plays out Different scenarios and cases I'm a traveller I've been going places I've had great times It's been a rollercoaster ride But when I open my eyes I haven't taken a stride Figuritave and literal, both The run-of-the-mill routine, I loathe They say I'm the traveller that does not move I've been going places for what my tongue says, my mind proves So I set sail for the seas and oceans Of love and hope and dreams and emotions I stood on the bow of the ship as the sails unfurled I sceamed with all my might I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD But then I open my eyes And I flinch I've been going places How have I not moved an inch....? - Kevin K.
