journeys within
of beautiful places
landscapes I'd never been
my sleep dreams continue to come
lingering throughout my day
in still frame wonder of color
I wander these places
and travel alone not searching
or seeking of why
people are there
but I walk invisible
being part of but not in their world
there is no feeling
no emotion
neither scent nor event
yet a lasting impression
of content

park like lawns
meandering paths
architecture of modern design
fountains that rain
into infinity pools
stone steps and vaulted windows
I was most intrigued
by a floor I walked on
large tiles of hand carved wood
intricate design
symbols of some kind
spirals in each corner
expertly laid and
perfectly solid
in the earth tones of a craftsman
