Can love exist on the back of a pack mule?  
Occasionally resting to drink in the hopes of a dream 
Exhausted and weary, dreary the journey 
Thirsting unperturbed with no in-between 
Travelling light with a heavy conscious 
Hasten the pace, a quick spur of the mule 
Within this small package lies something precious 
And, the baggage it brings belongs only to you
