My Wanderlust

For you
my most beloved wanderers,
wander, wander
wandering...
the urge to roam,
to dance, to fly to be,
the search for free,
the need to see
to go, to find, to search,
to do - quenching your
wandering thirsts so easily,
so marvelous, so grand,
so elegant as you go
wander, wander,
wandering
so free as desert blooms, desert rose
twinkling stars
and camels
ancient art, beautiful cities,
stone walls
sailing to Istanbul
running the bulls
Tuscan countryside on horseback
love affair with French art...
taking off
having a ball
postcard from Damacus
at the Ritz
Tour De France
Gleaming white yachts
cozy corner bistros
Vincent van Gogh
Tally Ho - Perfect pleasures
Some place special
on the Seine
A taste of Italy
Ah, London
aristocratic style
Mediterranean spirituel renewal
We shared Scotland in the summer
Tuscany
in the fall
and
Madrid all night long.
We shopped the boulevards
of Europe
had coffee in cafes
Took in museums
Strolled the beaches of
Cote d'Azur
Sampled legendary nightlife.
Monto-Carlo MAGNIFIQUE
From grand chateaux to
centuries-old vineyards
unforgettable experiences
remembering a night
at a classic cafe in Athens
dressed in new Paris fashions
Zernatt to St. Morit
and on to Yugoslavia's
gold coast...
a carnival in Venice
Crete's mystery
a soul-stirring island
We ended the day with vintage port.
To see the world is one thing.
To experience it
wandering, wandering,
Together
is different.
Wanderlust, are you ever cured?

By this time next Thursday night,
I will be well on my way to Athens, Greece.
There is much to do before I leave
and my to-do list is several pages long
and blogging isn't even on the list.
Okay, back to packing!
Blessings

May tziki be somewhere on your plate every day and baklava be shared with a loved one in the shadow of the Parthenon with a toast of Ouzo and an Umppah! Much love and hugs. Safe journey my friend. m

Oops! Posted in the wrong spot! Perhaps two safe journeys is better than one? Love ya bunches, m
