I soar like an albatross,
eastward ; where vacant archipelagos
and inflated magma chambers,
spew fecundity with confidence.
I gravitate to forgotten heritage sites,
And discover forsaken villages.
I expedite to catch the sunset view,
of man-made and natural wonders.
I dive into depths of severe oceans,
For hidden mysteries to uncover,
Breathless: I shiver, to feel my carnal predators
in thrilling close encounters.
I test vertical limits of physical tolerance,
And free-fall with peregrine precision,
I trick gravity and launch my chute
Before raging adrenaline gives in.
In search of my inner oblivion
I migrate to scour new terrains.
I canvass untreaded, forlorn paths
only to feel, share and experience.
As I backpack on aimless traveller trails
discovering and unlearning fiction,
I spurn fear and embolden the mind,
to continue on the next exciting mission.
