On Tour

On Tour


To dive into the world of the great barrier reef would be enough
assimilating into the tranquil environment somewhere in the Capricorn
looking below while leaping merrily from a bluff
Like a babe in earth's womb, I am reborn.

Like a dart thrown on a map, may it land in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco 
Among the snow-capped peaks, I'd breathe the air of eagles, frozen in awe
Wind whistling with legato, birds beneath quietly chirping their song in pizzicato
I would like nothing more than to remain here in this place, a place to withdraw.

Before I bounced from this terrestrial ball I'd have to party in Spain
One last hurrah flying first class to Ibiza 
One last adrenaline rush, amped with red bull, taunting bulls with eyes bloodstained
One last expression from this American, perhaps a spending spree with a visa.

When the night has come and I should travel no more
Take me back home and bury me in earth's floor

Not exactly Pine Bluff. Barcelona is quite a place. The churches are incredible as well as the art work. A bull running for a spree down some streets is something else also. Country roads always carry you back according to John Denver.
