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-
