maybe someday
My sister just went to Brazil.
She is the world explorer of the two of us.
She has a wanderlust to see new places
while I crave the familiar
and being home.
But occasionally,
I want to run along a beach
dip my toes in the salty water
breathe in the crisp mountain air
of someplace far from here.
I want to taste pasta in Italy,
hear the bustle of people in Tokyo,
and see the crystal blue ocean in Greece.
maybe someday
I’ll venture further than the next state over.
maybe someday
I’ll see all the places in my dreams.
maybe someday
fear of leaving won’t hold me back.
