The merits of travelling
One year ago we left everything behind
Without a plan but with an ever clear mind.
We wanted to travel east.
We didn´t know for how long.
To release the beast,
That was holding on strong
To our inner doctrines,
Which often cloud our view.
What if it´s not how it seems?
Is the sky really blue?
We travelled more than 20.000 miles,
Collected countless memories
And even more smiles.
A plethora of treasuries
Accumulated in our hearts.
New friendships made,
On our hands a new deck of cards.
Life´s a game that you create.
The merits of traveling
Can´t be expressed with mere words.
It is simply unraveling,
You might call it absurd
When they say life´s a journey
With nothing to be achieved,
Truth is there are turnings
Most often difficult to conceive.
You can plan all you want,
Life´s message is clear:
There´s an invisible bond,
There´s no reason to fear.
When we accept and let go
And see that all is one,
Nature again will flow
And love will have won.
Call me naive
Or whatever you like.
Humans disbelief and grieve
Is the devil´s delight.
When you travel you see
The world´s good and much evil.
But if you simply choose to be
You can face all upheaval.
No matter how bumpy the road,
In the city of Tbilisi,
When you travel you realize
Life´s not meant to be easy.
No matter how heavy the load
you may carry on your back,
with each step you take,
the lighter becomes your pack.
But rest assured the answers you seek
You won´t find in the desert nor in a creek.
When you pause and keep still
And simply change your view
You may realize with a chill:
Everything is in you.
