I was hoping to grow some roots...
To slow down and get comfortable.
I'm not looking to travel the World anymore
I just want to find a place to call home....and not feel stuck.
Somehow I always end up back here...
On a train, not sure where I'm going
Not lost, just wandering.
I've found fertile land.
And watched beautiful things grow
Only to be plucked one by one
Entire neighborhoods sucked dry
By the promise of a penny.
I would like to think that this time it will all go right,
But I know better.
We still have knots to untangle.
We still don't realize what we are.
Sometimes it hurts
And sometimes it is the only thing I can find comfort in
Everything is always changing.
So I just sit here
Watching the scenery change as it always does
Trying to muster every bit of inspiration that I can.
To share it with whoever will listen.
I've been knocked down quite a bit
But I always seem to muster up something.
These words are hardly much
But they are all I have right now.
If they make you turn your head in another direction
Then I guess they were good for something.

Really nice, enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed your wonderful poem. There is sorrow, loss yet strength and hope...well that's what i found anyway.
Thanks Ben, you always motivate me to keep going on here.
My friend I recommend you read the book "Tied in knots" by Greg Willits... since you mentioned there are knots to be untangled. Cheers
I will check it out....been so swamped this week!
So beautiful!!! ♥
I can so relate. ;) ☺
Upvoted, resteemed & followed. ☺
The best way to cut a knot is to use a sword. Anyway I enjoyed this poem and keep up the good work.
Fire works too
Sty awesom !!!!!
Ahhh...I remember feeling that way. Was going through an old diary the other day from my travel days, and so many pages were filled with me longing for 'home'.
Funny thing is - when you do find that place - it's not long before all you want is to hit the road again. What was once familiar seems strange. I think the secret is to never get tied down or trapped...in this world, that's usually tied to the cursed monetary system.
Hugs - it's a beautiful piece.
Glad to know you know how I feel, I can usually expect that from you cause we have so much in common. I only want to hit the road when the great places I find get corrupted by that cursed money system :-P
