There’s a place I seek to escape to
To take refuge from this dark
I don’t know where it is
There is no map that can lead me to it
There is no “X” marks the spot
No pre-planned path to my nirvana
On a journey to the unknowns
Running away from what is
To be embraced by the what could be
All the while captured by the what was
Yearning to explore, discover, unveil truth
A desperation to change, heal, feel
Anything but here and now
My quest betrays me
A lonely adventure for one
Denying the beauty of life along the way
Traveling to anywhere
Never satisfied with any destination
Yet never wanting to return home
The journey becomes a burden
Always focused on the escape
Missing the hidden treasures
The exotics of life already in reach, but invisible and denied
Empty souvenirs
My cabinet’s conquests speak of places ventured
Yet none have the brought the exquisite escape I desire
And none will until I take the ultimate trip
To one of the wonders of the world
A uniquely breathtaking destination like none other
It holds all the culture, freedom, adventure and romance I crave
All of the elements of earth, air, fire and water live here
A place of supreme harmony
Where experience and adventure wait for me
To take my breath away
Everything I’ve ever wanted
A dream journey that’s mine for the taking
A journey to the light
A journey to peace and joy
A journey to enjoying the moment
A journey that begins now
As I simply escape to the within
