That Place

Many miles have been traveled with the thought of that special place in the front of my mind.  Through all the towns I have passed across, seeing sites that some only dream of, I realize that there is only one place that will forever be appreciated.  Recently, I have lived on the road, stopping at some good places, but also experiencing some not so good places.  First off, I left my home to go to my other home.  The luxury of having two places to call home is something that I take for granted, and some people do not have that opportunity.  To leave a place I have been associated with for so long and to up and leave without any thoughts is intriguing in a way.  When people leave their homes, they feel some type of emotion.  Not I.  I just left.  For it to be that easy says a lot about my next destination.  So I ride.  I take off like Mr. Fredrickson's own home from the top of Paradise Falls.  But when he left, he felt deep emotions, for Ellie was being left behind with his home.  The thing he loved most was floating away.  This feeling had to be tough to swallow.  Good thing I was not depending on balloons to carry me home.  After a long journey with the Iver's and their Horses, I arrive to that place.  I unload all my things, and soak it in.  I'm back.  Love and care flow like 2% covering Capt. C.  Bliss is in my back pocket.  Rest and recuperation are next on my calender.  Three days pass, I love it, but the fact there is nothing to do now is haunting me.  So I pack up, say my short good-byes and leave.  Knowing that I would soon return, I leave without emotion, without thought.  My travels start, not missing or really thinking about home.  As my trip starts to come to an end, home does not seem so bad.  The scary fact of that place is the lack of active achievements.  I think I can handle it though, for someone special is about to join me.  Not to say that this someone is active, but she is there.  This helps.  Home is a place of comfort.  I need to take full advantage of this before I depart once again for another long journey to my "other" home.  But for now, I will sit back and relax, for in my opinion, I earned it.
