Travel Lust

I lust to travel, the world, so grand
As I hold, this ball, in my hands

I slide my fingers along the lines
And dream of the place my index finds

I imagine, myself, near and far
The oceanic floor to the northern star

I enjoy my daily, equator stroll
And sliding from the north to South Pole

The black, red and Mediterranean Sea
North America, the land of the free
Anywhere outside or in between
You'll more than likely find me

On a plane, wrapped in clouds
To New York City  with crowds and crowds

Icy North Pacific to west Palm Springs
From whales to shells, falls to Streams

A trip to London for a spot of tea
Then off to Madagascar's magnificent trees

An Asian vacation for authentic fried rice
Then across the rio grand for a little spice

At the end of the day, I embrace a hotel
An Irish castle or humble hay bale

It matters not, where I rest my head
The world's a book, it must be read
