I AM A TOURIST
I travel everywhere via my books
Ride written words to distant nooks
Each line a train chugging down the track
A roaring jet, a racing car, a rolling yacht.
Right there is my tour itinerary
A prologue of the sites I would see
Thrilling wonders, an exciting overview
Of experiences beautiful and new.
Every page then, takes me on a flight
Reach galaxies veiled from my naïve eyes
Soar heights where I would not dare fly
Discover secrets that cosmos hides.
Each chapter takes me on a cruise
Surf the troughs and crests of ocean waves
Play hide and seek in underwater caves
With sharks and dolphins befriend mermaids.
I could rewind the clock or do a time lapse
Talk with the sages from millenniums past
Be alive in the world a century hence
Past, present, future, I could experience.
I also have my own travelogue
In the leaves of the epilogue
Inspiring me to keep on and move
Find other places where I could groove.
