I got that feeling again,
The feeling in the base of my heart,
The calling,
Deeper than anything I’ve ever known,
The voice came from beyond the hills.
I will ignore it this time.
Instead,
I will listen to the voices in front of me,
The laughter and comfort only home can be,
The heart of my heart, the love unexplainable,
The link to this place,
The change indescribable.
But still, the horizon calls.
In my dreams, in my work, in my moments alone,
I hear the ignored calling me on,
A reminder that I can only ignore for so long,
Before a piece of me is lost.
So I offer my love.
The voice gets quiet and reminds me real fast,
That the road is solitary,
“The Lead Foot won’t last!”
So even if I give my love,
The voice of adventure will take it to task.
Dearest Lead Foot,
I am leaving… I love you,
As I walk away, I am thinking of you,
Hoping you wait just one more time,
Though I don’t really know if it is just one more time.
