saint christopher around my neck
i set off to do what i do best
marathon bus rides and a bag of books
the stage is set for a rendezvous
with an unknown city and a known lover
i want to feel the sun on my face
and carry myself with bravado and love
time will tell how this tale ends
until then i will content myself
with the knowledge that
i am not denying my true nature
i embrace every bump in the road
as an opportunity for a new adventure
