A Heart Near You

How many 

Thousands

of 

Dollars 

and

Miles

Might be

Invested

&

Traversed

In the 

Name

Of

Adventure

and 

Exploration?

Just as readily

With 

Minimal expense

And

No need

for 

Visa, passport nor vaccination

There lies

The boundless

Territory

And 

Terrain

of

Your own

Heart

Perhaps

More exotic

More foreign

Capable 

of 

Offering

Vastly

Diverse

&

Expansive

Experiences

Of course

The two

Need not be

Mutually exclusive

Just the same

Geographical relocation

Can 

Be every bit

An ego feeding 

Proposition

As serve

Any 

Higher good

Turn 

And face

Your heart

Regardless

Where you 

Have located

The rest of yourself

No destination

Will

Quell the pain

Of 

An abandoned heart 

Will

Attentiveness

To 

A heart

Ensure

Unending bliss?

No..

It 

Will though

Lessen

The

Extended pain

of

Disconnection

A heart

Embraced consistently

Will enrich

You

Where you

Are
