Sky Skimming

I watched the sun set to the west as I flew east east east

Dusk and night colliding in one fluid motion

And my thoughts on the land of shamrocks and Guinness and freckled nationals, not on the land or the loves left behind.

What gifts to be given - flight and travel and freedom.

Things I never knew I wanted until all of sudden they were all I wanted.

Perhaps life is just like that,

You never know what you want until you've been faced with all of the things that you don't.

And the choice to go after it -- the decision to follow what you're now SURE of -- is not an easy or painless choice.

No, there are no easy choices, love.

No easy paths.

Just hearts filled with enough courage to carve out those that are worth following.

And those are the only hearts that turn the world.

And the only heart I want to know.
