Poetry: Ancient cities

by M.Vega

Created on: April 02, 2009   Last Updated: February 25, 2011

If I could travel back in time,
and could walk in the world behind.

I will sit and have a chat with the oracles at Delphi.
I will walk through the cities if Ithica and Sparta.

I Will then cross the ocean to the land of the pharaohs,
feeling the Egyptian sand beneath my feet,
thinking of all the kings I am about to meet.

I cannot forget to stop at the city of Jerusalem,
and see the son of god, with his apostles,
by his side.

Before I go,
I must see that famous lost city of Atlantis,
surrounded by gold,
thriving and flourishing as a great civilization.

I would have seen all the great cities if I could travel back in time,
but I cant, so these cities only lie in my mind.
