A Balm

I’m flying ‘cross the country
From the east to western coast
To cure a touch of wanderlust
That I self-diagnosed.

It’s great to visit places
Unlike where I’ve settled down,
To wander through a different city,
Countryside or town…

To travel to some vineyards,
Try some restaurants and wine;
And trade in my routines
For some adventure by design.

To kick my heels up just a bit,
If only for a week,
Is like a balm to soothe the soul
And that is what I seek.
