twinkling landscapes
and highways lined
with impossible buildings
were always
beautifully familiar
to my interstate soul
and most days
i miss them
and the feeling of getting lost
in the endlessness of it all
but i have learned to love
this little town, too
for the charm of a cathedral
can transform one’s soul
so easily, and so quickly
from one of wanderlust
and ever-dreaming
to contentment
and the coziness
of a home.
