Love Poem: Journeys

Journeys

Some journeys are worth
the cost – 

some are not... 

and we do pay, one
way or another; even those taken 
by mind alone have an Electrical 
Transit-fee – the price of a meal’s
stored energy – 
       
       also, time, when foolishly
wasted, equates to wealth squandered
(time is money, I’ve been told)

but, the greatest loss, a chance to 
increase one’s capacity for love – 
which, I sense, is the only resource, 
of any value, that would have
merit
beyond 
the grave…
