A poem I wrote that captures some of my feelings of travelling, the warm jumble of pleasant emotion that is always my travel companion.

Roadway

Watercolor landscapes
roll by rolled down windows �
The breeze
a traveling companion �
Transplanted from winter
to spring,
searching for sunlit warmth.
My shadow stretches out
over roadside wild-flower fields.
I take mental pictures
Overcome and upside-down,
overwhelmed by
Mamma�s beauty.
The day is
soft to the touch,
sweet smelling�
-E.G.
