[Homeless] Daily Update #10 - (Day 8 - Sunrise and Poetry!)
![IMG_20170714_052954[1].jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXxWGhpwLuMyitYnXoQLHvwQkRcjwr1yds2q7UjRRCczK/IMG_20170714_052954%5B1%5D.jpg)
This morning I awoke in Commerce City, CO around the corner from the Sapp Brothers Truck Stop. As I drove to the truck stop (where I am now) the sky caught my attention. The pic above was from just before sunrise and the colors where already spectacular. As soon as I got inside and setup my laptop I gained a measure of inspiration and penned the following:
The Nomad's Prayer (Original Poetry by @venuspcs)
Beneath a star filled sky I lay,
Hoping I can find my way.
To the next place I'll wind up,
Probably begging with my cup.
As I walk along this road,
Looking for my next abode.
Let the journey be clear,
And my next home near!
Keep me healthy and strong,
All these days long.
Help me to see my way,
Even on those cloudy days.
May each ride be nice,
And not give me lice.
May the people I meet,
Ensure I have food to eat.
When I sleep at night,
May I wake up, alright.
When I wake up today,
May I not be old and gray.
But when my time does arrive,
In the next life let me thrive.
Let me be free as an Eagle,
Not some yappy ass Beagle!
Remember, my friends and fellow Steemians, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Always better times ahead! Always a way through the stormy waters that block your path. Just take your time, relax and enjoy the ride!

I call your current situation the quality of a life. We're not living until we have serious obstacles to overcome and find ourselves jumping out of our comfort zones.
@venuspcs, I appreciate you and I have no doubt of your future success if you continue on your current path of jumping into the unknown waters.
Steem On!
Those clouds are beautiful..nature provides some welcome solace im sure

@venuspcs great poem man. Have you by chance read "The Man Who Quit Money" by Mark Sundeen? I feel like you'd probably especially get something out of it atm.

Best of luck! And congrats on some level for getting outside of the rat race of man to some extent whether or not it was by choice or accident.
I leave you with these two videos as food for thought for your upcoming days:
