Vacation

Vacation calls with a gentle breeze,

A whisper of freedom through swaying trees.

A break from the bustle, the daily grind,

A journey to peace, for heart and mind.

Suitcase packed with dreams and hopes,

Maps and plans, and sunlit slopes.

To distant shores or a mountain's crest,

Vacation time, a welcome rest.

The morning sun on a foreign land,

Warm sand slipping through your hand.

Waves that sing a lullaby,

Underneath a sapphire sky.

Winding roads and hidden trails,

Whispers of stories in the evening tales.

Markets vibrant, colors bright,

Dancing flames in the campfire light.

From cityscapes to the quiet woods,

Discovering life, its myriad moods.

History's echo in ancient stone,

Nature's wonder, to call our own.

Laughter shared with friends so dear,

Moments cherished, memories clear.

New flavors tasted, scents so sweet,

New faces met, new hearts that beat.

As stars blink on in a twilight sky,

Vacation's end is drawing nigh.

But its spirit lingers, warm and true,

A spark of joy in all we do.

So let us savor, hold it tight,

The magic found in vacation's light.

For in those days, we come alive,

In the journey's heart, we truly thrive.
