Emily

With a click of a button,

the turn of a key, 

the roar of an engine;

with the kiss of a breeze,

the blessing of light, 

the call of the horizon;

she is off.

She is off to new lands,

to wherever the road may take her,

whether by pavement

or gravel 

or dirt

or river

or sea

or the endless sky,

she is gone.

She is gone to explore,

to experience all that this world

has to offer her open mind

and willing heart,

ready to embrace the spirit

of travel.
