Nomad Song
Nomad Song

Three Rubicons crossed,
a pair of bridges burned,
a single soul sedentary
spurred beyond settling,
takes the open road,
a new horizon opens,
the unknown beckons,
miles pass by like years,
the familiar fades,
change becomes the norm.
Roots torn from moorings
entwine with alien soil
the heart embraces faces,
friends on other shores.
Until the next bridge looms,
home flourishes again.
