staying put

is it possible to live
in a small town,
a village,
if such a thing still exists,
and live
forever in
contentment. to marry
the girl, or boy next
door in the home
beside yours?
do we need to go far,
to go
beyond our shores
to find
love and peace,
to seek fame and fortune
in some distant city,
some exotic land?
can't we just stay put
and be satisfied
with who and where
we are?
can we ever stop throwing
coins into a fountain
and wishing upon
some falling star?
