The time has come for me to leave Cambodia and head back to my homeland. End of July marks the spot.
Here's what needed to come out even though I am a reluctant poet wannabe: I wanted to travel light But it is not to be Several suitcases of stuff Will accompany me On a journey across the globe Back to the place where I once roamed Golden fields of corn Stretch as far as the eye can see I know where I am going But I know not where I'll be In a few years from now When some more grey appear In the frizz of my curly mop But do you know what? I don’t even care, I won’t stop As long as there’s much fresh air and that skilled somebody to dye my hair. Cobbled streets unfit for heels More than fair share of unhealthy meals Pubs in the country with no end to beers And green mossy forests roaming with deers New adventures in the distance Shimmering bright Oh, how I long for that different light To colour my photos fresh And nowhere in sight piles of trash Give me rain Give me fog Give me some breeze I don’t even care if I freeze Give me no noise Rolling hills Well earned mountains of cash and no reason to sneeze Impatient, I feel my feet start to itch But wait, there seems to be a glitch Who broke my heart in two? Three Four Five Thousand pieces? Who? As many pieces as the homes I’ve had As many pieces as dear friends I’ve met Hellos, goodbyes, much fun in the sun we’ve had But none of this has to come to an end Does it? I’ve soaked up all the tropics’ sun It’s stored within me I’ll release it on a winter’s day Bright and wild to chase the darkness away That’s how it’s going to be Melting the blues Loving my Muse Feeling fancy free and footloose Gratitude.

Never still, always on the move, looking for the perfect capture... Cambodia is currently my home, presenting endless opportunities.... WarningIn this blog you will find no profound wisdom.
Just accounts of daily life, sometimes about photography, often about wine, occasionally about travel adventures and sometimes about nothing at all. So enjoy. Archives
