Canola Fields
Maybe there is no place like home
She needs to fly far away
With a lens and fresh start in September
New backyards where she can play
Quick press to focus and click, remember
⌞ + ⌝
She wants big stories to tell
Beyond the Pacific. The Atlantic.
She bids Alberta farewell
In search of something new and romantic
⌞ + ⌝
But the photos on her phone
Mountains and vast prairies. A far-off loon.
Ocean landscapes not unknown
Fields of flowers already in full bloom
⌞ + ⌝
Experiences gathered
Where she flourished among the vibrant hues
Her views already mattered
With canola fields against layered blues
⌞ + ⌝
Travel is good for the soul
Perhaps she took her province for granted
Sights overseas met her goal
Within Canada is where she landed
