Poetry Dice Challenge(and the winners)- I Travelled Far

I travelled far To reach the places I listed I had them stacked in a jar I travelled far Through a **plane**, a ship and a car I went to places Vast plains To the dead sea I travelled far Ice cold tundras Rolled down the Himalayas To the Amazon Rainforest East coast Wild West Trying to catch life's zest I travelled far Went pole to pole Set camp In Norway, the night was damp Put up a **tent** without a lamp To watch the light show Admired Aurora before I go Caught in the blizzard Stuck in the thick snow Crystals impossible to thaw I travelled far Witnessed the great migration Running wildebeest From the plains of Serengeti The number's so hefty To the vast plains of Maasai Mara It's full of life in plethora I travelled far A stroll in the ancient Mexico To its known but hidden archipelago Mayans and Incas built **pyramids** too A tomb for the rulers But they don't call them Pharaoh The ruins in ancient Egypt They built it to face the sun Forged into stone To return back to sand The oasis of time Slipping out of the **hand** I travelled far I travelled far To distant Switzerland Grazing **sheeps** The alps with Edelweiss The fragrant **flower** I'll surely miss Unfamiliar nostalgia in the trains of the Swiss I travelled far Places without documented in my **phone** It's sad to take selfies It's sad to say I'm alone I wanted to travel far Away from the trouble Away from the scar They said it's a **bridge over water** Claims of the past- it's time to surrender I travelled far Without spending a penny I lay on the street Liquor bottles in my side And all what the trash can provide People coming by I laugh at them without saying "Hi" My mind is always hazy My body can't move not because I am lazy When the pavement gets dark And it's all dim in the park I lay here without a bed Without worrying what's ahead Because tomorrow I'll go to places again To the soles of my brain And the sympathy I can't gain I'll travel again Then I'll lay here to sleep Slumberring in **Zzz's** And wish to never wake up Before the heart slowed then stop I'll plant white flowers in my grave A hope for peace in times I succumb I hope you pay me a visit -in my lowly tomb -END- ____________________________ And that is the Poetry Dice Challenge brought to you by Poems and Flash Fiction and Live Poet Society.
