    On The Move

    The satiated day is never the greatest.
    The best day is a day of thirst.
    
    There is probably purpose and meaning in our journey
    but it is the pathway there, which is worth our while.
    
    The greatest aim is a night long rest,
    where the fire is lit and the bread broken in haste.
    
    In the place, where you sleep but once,
    sleep becomes safe and the dream full of song.
    
    Move on, move on! The new day is dawning.
    Endless is our great adventure.
