I am happy with my three best friends,
my cramped-up wooden house
in a small town,
a thousand inhabitants
my neighbour, a war hero,
another one, a priest,
apples grow on trees,
vegetables flourish on the ground,
fishes fly in the lake nearby
and the birds swim through the clouds.

You may have gotten the jist by now,
I am not an explorer.
I don’t crave to travel the universe
I am a lost soul that has just settled.
and I am just learning to love my space.
I have just started to build my fences,
and decorate my walls.

So let me rest, world!

Don’t demand or expect an adventure
Don’ t lure me with space travel,
for me, travelling to the next town
is already a great voyage.

I live in my own little universe
and I don’t care about your
hunger to strive,
your attraction with growth,
with expansion of horizons,
with moving out of comfort zones,
reaching out to the stars and more.

I am satisfied with my own.

So let me rest, world!
Don’t demand or expect an adventure
Let me just enjoy the stability,
the tranquility, the steadiness,
the constant, the peace.
