Ode on Business Travel - a poem for Friday

Here’s a happy little poem to commiserate with folks who find themselves away from family on travel. Travel has slowed down for me a bit lately, but last year I learned I don’t travel well.

Without further ado:

Ode on Business Travel

So many
days away
make life
gray—Spring
waters flow
clear at the source
Past roots
and grasses
and submerged
shrubs waving
their kracken-
like branches,
past muddy
banks where
hoof stirred
silt rises
in wisps
and clouds
the stream
opaque.
