Travel in… Vienna
When on a walkabout
On the city’s streets at night
Drawn towards the castle lights
Shining ever so bright
The past has its resonance
In the architecture with elegance
You may even glimpse an eminence
Roaming around the residence
Let the feelings of lavish
Your daily routine vanish
And enjoy a sip from a chalice
In the Schönbrunn Palace

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving” Lao Tzu
On the Left Wing Side, Part Three
A few moments standing
Preparing for landing
On the speaker out loud
A soothing voice to the crowd:
“Thank you for flying Finnair
Enjoy your stay and
Please come again”

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving” Lao Tzu
On the Left Wing Side, Part Two
In this metal cocoon
Only us human buffoons
Can enjoy our winged journey
Even if scared
Then tied to a gurney
The flight attendant leered

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving” Lao Tzu
On the Left Wing Side, Part One
Above the clouds
Nightfall with darkness
Spread like a shroud
Late at night
In mid flight
Safe and sound
Into a tiny seat bound…

World Wide Wednesday Presents Delphi
Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Delphi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece
The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

Bread and Circuses or Happy New Year!
Bread and Circuses
For any and all purposes
Lights and fireworks
Maybe with some quirks
No time to waste
It is time to celebrate
Let us all unite
Leave our differences, aside
The New Year
We hail
Following
A different trail
Past and present
Already spent
To the future
From now on
We all ascend
