Escaping All This

I am riding on a train

toward Paris

French Countryside whizzing by

Centuries old farmhouses in the background

Reminding me of history

I am flying in an Airbus

40,000 feet up

The coast of Ireland comes into view

It is breathtaking

Soon we land and the taxis await

I am a sojourner

Gypsy

Lover of Life

Feeling best when in motion

On the move

Leaving my cares and worries behind

A luxury

I can see new horizons

Where the old ones used to be

I think about the better times

I try to forget about the pain

I am cycling on the canal

Whizzing by the fishermen

Reeling in their catch

It seems surreal

At the same time all too real

The struggle for survival

Eat or be eaten

Beat or be beaten

I choose to travel

Effortlessly

Glide over the landscape

Just high enough to see

The big picture

But not so low

as to

Crash
