Travelling Light

Khushboo Shah posted under PenMuse-31 Poetry on 2021-06-18



Is it not easier to travel light, Than doggedly carry all that I own? Leave doubts behind but take along my might, As I venture into terrain unknown. A balm to soothe feet hurting now and then, Is it not easier to travel light? A knife alright, but first I grab my pen, Should I ever need to put up a fight. Not clothes, but a stitch to mend torn ends tight, Blandest breads yet with pickle on my plate, Is it not easier to travel light? Though not piles of books, I pack a clean slate. Lessons, not luxuries, I did carry, My journey itself bestowing delight, Agile, not crushed with greed and worry, Is it not easier to travel light?   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
