POETIC PILGRIMS PATH

you are reliant at all times upon the "kindness of strangers"
you arrive at a venue in trust they will know you
you must connect with each audience as they want you to
you are always in the hands of sweet Fate(and she is blind to you
you fly by Southwest ,use PRICELINE for hotels
you will have shows canceled,and must constantly adapt
sometimes the unexpected will save you-but mostly not
you are at all times only as good as what you can offer
all the product in this world depends upon your performance
nothing can be taken for granted at any moment
weather could change like emotional barometers
you need to read people even more than your texts
you will learn more just by watching and listening
always each night is a surprise and each day also
your journey is connection,temporary as the kiss of time
you arrive in a strange town,and must leave before dawn
word love and dream love sustain you through travels
whether to from away or towards,you are learning
that the earning of a living on the word is dependent upon
those who treasure the good energies they come from
when they do-everywhere is home.
