So long.

Hopes - I'll chase them down

Like wind across the dunes -

My fancy flying free

As ocean stones.

 

I'll leap - it's just a step -

From certain to unknown,

And the world will be my home -

I'm never coming home.

 

You taught me as I grew

You've got to make this life your own,

You've got to find your way alone.

And a gypsy traveller told me once

      That freedom is to roam.

 

Author's Note

My girlfriend really doesn't like the line about the gypsy. Does it sit okay? Is there too much of a leap between the second and the thirds stanza? Thanks for your help.

And the world will be my home -
a wonderful thought, and this belief is what unites.

That freedom is to roam.
just to have no bindings- emotional, social, a real freedom to achieve.

liked it.
