Waxing Poetic

Poetry is normally not my thing. It is not that I do not like it. I've just never been very good at writing it. Every now and again though, I'll have a nugget or two that will escape the gray matter rattling around in my skull (see post entitled, A Couple of Poems).

Yesterday was one of those rare moments. I was having lunch with Kristin at The Bakery in Farmville, VA when I snapped the photo below.



While thinking of a title for the photo, a thought came to me of someone walking into restaurant and asking for "a table for none" and then walking out. It was at that moment that the poem came to me...

A table for none
No reservation needed
The time has come to be gone
The traveler's call must be heeded

Experience sustains me
Knowledge quenches my thirst
I await the next sight I'll see
But I must arrive there first

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
