Its the same feeling once again....

its the same feeling once again

the spirit of adventure beckons

i have a thousand dreams

i wish to
taste the earth and its various flavors
salty sand of the beaches
sweet mud of mango orchards
pungent dusts from dry quarries
and bitter breaths of bogs

i wish to
eat the sky and its varied colors
orange ones in the breakfast
pink ones in the evening
azure aromas after the rains
and yellow hues of a dust storm

i wish to
drink the beauty of a million sights
snaking streams, stealthy stripes
roaring rivers, rustic ravines
carnelian carnivals, cygnet costumes
chaotic cities and cresting crowds

i wish to
feel the comfort of
riding a rickety pick up on a rutted road
sleeper coaches singing in rains, through the forests
tourist buses climbing clouded mountains
and burly bullets breezing on benumb slopes

i wish to
hear the history of a thousand memories
quite queens,creaky castles,soldier's cenotaphs
temples, tombs, caves, carvings, ruins and roads

antiquities, arts, tales, legends and lores
sunken ships, statues, guns, fields and forts

i wish to be
one with the soul
that pervades the entire earth

p.s.: 1) I find the above pic, with a pick up on a dusty road followed by dark clouds suitably expresses my feelings. My current desktop, the original file is available here.
