Travel Again!

Why must my stories wait?
When my destinations are already calling…
I can still make memories
Of travelling, wining and dining…

My camera is at the end of her patience
My suitcases are just biding time…
But I have already travelled there
Far away in my mind…

I am there already, in spirit
Walking the streets of Seoul…
The sakura, the snow
And that spicy tteokbokki bowl…

I will fly back via Bangkok,
It is the cheapest flight…
So what if this is a dream journey
My travel budget’s light…

I’ll land in Delhi this time
It’s about time I visited Agra…
Then maybe I’ll fly to Bhutan
Via Bagdogra…

In Paro I can stay awhile
Hike up to Tiger’s Nest again…
I think I didn’t get my wish right
When my first spiritual quest began…

That’s the thing with these journeys
The fake ones in my mind…
I can fly anywhere, I can do whenever
And take all my time…

I am not bound by how many leaves I’ve left
Nor capped on my spending…
Oh what a world, what a dream this is
I dread it ever ending…
