The Roamings-W

In my green green salad days I roamed in my thoughts over the universe Immersed with the great writings. Then physically exposed to different cultures Meeting people of different sects and creed Enacted Moliere in his own National theatre of Paris, Oh, the Eiffel Tower and the Chateaus The bard’s residence on Stratford-upon-Avon Robert Burns of Eyre and Walter Scot of Scotland The Dracula palace in Romania, the Alps in Germany Over to Mongolia, the land of Great Chengiskhan On to Los Angeles to stop for a landmark of My Roamings and then of Ramblings in black and white, The modern marvels of Disney land and Cape Kennedy To skyscrapers of Sears and CNN And the journey’s end at Niagara, the Antiope of Canada. Now I am like a remnant of a cloud of autumn Uselessly roaming in the sky O Sun ever-glorious Your touch has not yet melted my vapour Make me one with your light And thus I count months and years Oh, take this my emptiness Paint it with myriad colors with gold.
