Because
Of what
He achieves
Showing us
The world,
While
Globe-trotting
And travelling
To its remotest
Areas, risking his
Life to be with
Drug-lords and
Thieves, to give us
All those fascinating
Facts that he receives
He even explores all the hidden
Wonders of the world,
Taking us to exquisite places
Of amazing beauty....
As if doing such intriguing
Travel documentaries
Seems to be his social duty
Well, if it's all hard for you to believe
You can read all about Simon Reeve
(I love watching his travel shows)
Beautiful
It was a
Beautiful
Night
There was
No street
Light
I bathed
Myself
In the
Beautiful
Moonlight
(wrote this remembering a night when there was no street light to blight out the moonlight)
Great
The great
Outdoors
Are beckoning
Me, saying to
Me ~
Come and
Mingle ~
With the
Sun and
The sea
'Cause
That is
Where
You'll
Eventually
Be....
(here the words "eventually be" imply that we all merge with nature after we die)
