Leaving

by Jeremiah Walter...Aries - Not entered

The children head West
Through the fog
Into the moist, green hills

Chasing their dreams
Away from home
Off to seek great thrills

The mist surrounds them
Sucking them in
Out of their parents sight

They're off into the wilderness
The real world
Birds on an inaugural flight

Reason for writing:

    It's an idea that's been written about many times before.

Children leaving home.

It can be taken either literally, as kids going
off on a hike without their parents, or figuratively,
heading out away from home, into the world.

That's all I have to say about that.
