Wandering Love

Be careful
when you fall
in love
with the wanderer.

Be careful
when you fall
in love
with the artist.

Be careful
when you fall
in love
with the reader.

They create grand ideas
and have
even grander plans.

The need
for the wind
in their hair
never goes away.

It pulls in their heart
every single day
in a way
that cannot
be ignored.

They never think
of where they are
as where they are.

There is always another story
another world
around them.

They walk in a daze,
they walk in a dream.

And whoever can wake them
will challenge the wind,
will challenge the thoughts,
and the worlds,
and the words.

They will wander,
lost in this new happiness
found in reality.

They will wander between here
and there,
torn between
their loves.

So be kind
when you fall
in love with
the wanderer,
and the artist,
and the reader,
be patient when they
lose themselves
in their thoughts.

Be kind,
and patient,
and trust
that they will always
come back to you.

No matter
how far they go
in their mind.

No matter
how far they travel
away from you.

they will come home.
