“Away...

In a mirror, I caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure alone away from home standing in silence. His mind traveling far away in a temporary place with strangers all around.

The adventure that lay ahead enticing all of his senses making him more alive than the comforts of home. Careful his approach to all encounters because the eye has an appetite sweet and sour. The taste of exotic dishes and scent of forbidden fruit lay in abundance in this place far away.

I open my eyes carefully and protect my mind to control the lust for life for I am a man captain of my vessel. The day is far spent the night is upon me where every being must lay and rest. This is where the true test of character begins and it looks like it’s gonna be a long night.”
