Come Away

Invitation to a loved one

Come away with me, and be my love,
Let's explore the vast unknown,
As we sail the seven seas,
Discover treasures not yet shown.

Together we'll visit ancient lands,
And marvel at modern sights,
From mountains reaching for the sky,
To peaceful meadows, bathed in light.

Come away with me, and be my love,
On wings of dreams, we'll fly,
Across the zones, we'll journey far,
Reconnect with friends gone by.

We'll share stories of our lives,
Cherish moments, big and small,
Savoring scones and laughter,
Creating memories to recall.

Come away with me, and be my love,
Down winding roads we'll roam,
Embracing nature's wondrous gifts,
Flora and fauna, we'll call home.

In this world, we'll travel hand in hand,
Facing challenges, side by side,
Conquering all life throws our way,
Our love, unbreakable, our guide.

So, come away with me, and be my love,
Let's embark on this grand endeavor,
Together we'll navigate this world,
Our hearts entwined, forever and ever.

Author’s Note

For some reason, I found this little ballad took me some time to write. Once I started writing a stanza I did so quickly, but it was difficult for me to move on to the next one.

One more thing…

I created a video (with the help of Canva) to introduce my little poem on Instagram and other social media.

Credits for photos used in the video go to Marten Bjork, Nikola Ancevski, and Mantas Hesthaven on Unsplash.
