Curious Traveller

All around me, seats are filled

With people intent on their journey-

Some sprawled, some slouched, some prim,some intent

And watchful as an attorney.



Where are they going, and why?

Does someone beloved await them,

Anxious to hold them tight in their arms

To complete the ring with their gem?



Or will it be a duty-

Something distasteful that must be done,

Time to act as a close family

To be the responsible one?



Soft murmurs now surround me

As some little trays of food appear

And inert voyagers awaken,

Deciding to shift to first gear.



The atmosphere is now close

As if in the company of friends-

Although I still find myself questioning

Reception, when this journey ends.
