When I'm alone, far away, home is me
A Shakespearean sonnet of a travelers' burden

I write this to you from my airplane seat
Everything I own in the cargo hold
For tonight, it’s my home: I rest my feet
I’ll journey into the future, behold
.
Three flights, one train, a taxi and a code
From America with love, left behind
Soon I will find my new Spanish abode
A new job, a new love, my life defined
.
For the future isn’t yet written of
But I do, furiously in the night
It is the home within myself I love
My pen and I, my mind, we create flight
.
I’ve lived many a place, the dreams I see
When I’m alone, far away, home is me
