Sometimes you are surprised
by where you are. Other times
you can be surprised by what
is there. Take a good look.
Always be open to surprise.

night thoughts 3:00 a.m.
Before I go home,
knowing my complex definition
has been altered by erstwhile
thieves and anxious lovers
(absolutely one in the same),
let me speak.
Let me speak.
No,
at 3 o’clock in the morning,
let me whisper
bygone intentions
I once believed, or was fooled
into believing.
I am a fool;
not an imbecile: a difference
not greater than thieves
or lovers.
It’s a theory that will
keep me awake
well into the night.© 2018 j.g. lewis

wanderlust
We are what we carry.
Impulse, obligation, and
instinct pull us through
the days, across borders
and unfamiliar footpaths.
Step wisely and know
you have what you need.
Pack lightly; too much
baggage will deter the
enjoyment and hold you
back. Wanderlust should
not be contained.© 2017 j.g. lewis
