The Office Gypsy; That's Me!

I dream of mountains, all the time. Pine & black earth.

I’ve always felt like a gypsy,
belonging nowhere,
belonging everywhere.

I should be hiking up mountains,
rappelling down icy slopes,
sleeping by a river that never shuts up,
squatting on a beach,
digging through sand for bits of glass
worn smooth by the sea.

I should be running in circles
through meadows,
barefoot, wild, laughing at nothing.

But here I am,
sitting on this old, hard chair,
in some industrial office,
tapping away at a laptop.

The world calls,
but I’m stuck here,
typing words that mean nothing,
pretending I’m okay with it.

But I’m not.

I’m just waiting
for the day I finally
get up,
walk out the door,
and keep walking.

My Soul Song

Mo’s Note:

Glad you stumbled in. I love writing poems, reading them too. Every day’s different, so you’ll see that in what I post—sometimes it’s long, sometimes it’s a quick hit. Descriptive? Sure. Rambling? Maybe. But it’s always real.

Welcome. I appreciate you being here. If you liked the poem, leave a 💖 and drop a comment. If my words spark something in you, and you write something because of it, tag me. I’d like to see where your mind took you.

Wishing you a beautiful day, wherever you are. 🌸

I love you!
