Travels

To think about where I want to go today,
of all the things I could possibly do
I really would like to fly away.

Some days, plans crumble like clay,
dried from the sun. So I continue
to think about where I want to go today.

A pure and peaceful place: the bay.
The water is calm and a deep blue hue.
I really would like to fly away.

New places, new cultures call from miles away.
A unique experience; a lengthy Mediterranean cruise
is where I want to go someday.

The next destination will not fade
from my brain: a sunny downtown view.
I really would like to fly there today.

Reality will keep getting in the way.
I’m not rich, or a bird; day dreams will have to do.
To think about where I want to go today,
I really would like to fly away.
