the Arkansas Traveler
by Kat Livengood
ALways go places
no one else can go
do things no one else
can do
if you do this
you are traveling well
living right

Avoid
from the Road Less Traveled
its too common
everyones doing it
keep clear of traffic
shun suggestions
and never look back

when you hear someone say
i can do that
or ive been there before
take note
youve probably not gone far enough
youve not pushed deep enough
your on the
tourist road

When you get to that spot
where your head says
turn around
but your heart says
damn this is exciting
your getting
close

so we drive and drive
we walk and walk
sometimes we run
sometimes we sit and do nothing
for long stretches of time
but mostly we what
makes
our heart sing
there is a desert diamond in that
song and we look for it
every day

because when you get there
you know it was worth it
when you get there
you know you earned it
when you get there
you know youve arrived
like you know when youve arrived
at home
