Just Visiting

People are temporary, by nature evolving.

Born as guests where all that is,

 precedes and succeeds us.

Travellers in time and place

blending in, fading out

arriving, always leaving.

Deriding or appreciating, depending

on birth, or scent or season,

in hope, the benefit of reason.

 

We shift internally, provoking a need,

a space to go or be, to journey

externally, outside of our normality.

Find an escape from or retreat to

coordinates or headspace

Sybaritic love nest or lonely quest

tripper or excursionist.

a welcome tourist or a stranger

Fulfilling destiny, eternally.

 

Permanent resident, illusion.

Ownership or custodian, appropriating resources.

What is yours or mine to take or hold or give?

Life Choices made in haste, the aim, avoiding pain,

so we stake a claim, grasping for a fragment of the whole.

Others, fettered by convention fear most the territory of Freedom

A welcome destination for the few

Many seek to take a peek yet dare not stay, happy to avoid

 Utopian existence, electing to remain the same; mundane.
