An Odyssey

An odyssey together
Falling through time as
Gracefully and slowly as
A swan does her dive.

Traveling through lands,
Distant and foreign but
Never having you far away,
Holding your hand tightly.

Meeting new people,
Enjoying life with others
But every night, lying
Next to each other in bed.

Talking about what we've
Seen and listening to the other's
Soft breaths falling asleep
And smiling to ourselves,

Knowing, on the inside,
We'd rather have no one else
Sharing these moments,
Lying next to us at night.

Through and through,
We travel forever,
Until there is nothing left to see,
And we finally settle down

In a small cottage by the sea,
Where our children laugh and
Play by the ocean, and we
Laugh and play this fantasy over
and over again in our heads.
