a balloon in the wind

i stay for some time
and then move on
it was never meant to be permanent
i was only passing by

but it’s been valuable
i’ve discovered some answers along the way
added them to the collection
a library of experiences

lessons learned
and mistakes made

it’s easy to take something for granted
when it’s always around
so i get up and leave
onto something new
and then whatever’s next

each place
i have more to learn
and people to meet
life is vast and infinite

all the different directions
changing landscapes
vibrant colors
floods of emotion

i’m told we’re meant to settle
and perhaps one day i will
but for now i only float
from one place to the next
