As I continue on my journey <br />I'm beginning to travel light <br />Preparing myself for tomorrow <br />the distance is out of sight <br /> <br />my suitcase is old and tattered <br />backpack is old and shattered <br />shoulder bag is not leather <br />imitation, I do think <br /> <br />waters of clear crystal <br />how I long to drink <br />threads breaking loose, unravel <br />many steps left to travel <br /> <br />so many things are idols <br />I don't need anymore <br />I'll understand it better <br />when I reach the other shore <br /> <br />learning to clear my pathway <br />for tomorrow is a better day <br />burden of this life <br />will suddenly wash away <br /> <br />in the stillness of the night <br />I'm beginning to travel light.<br /><br />Heather Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/traveling-light/
