An exotic land of romantic accent
a sunset beach of cliché
a postcard with no return address
an aimless stretch of Garbo highway

Choose where you will wake up
to live another life
if only for a moment
a vacation from yourself

Where you’ll spin, at last
a web, of quiet satisfaction
to all your maddening thought
frenzied lack of direction

Step back, then
and read the words
of your exodus born spinning
the answers are within yourself
have a wonderful vacation

YES!

That is what I need. lol..far far away from myself! sometimes..but only for a moment or two so that I can dream. I'm rambling..sorry.

I adore this, and am becoming a fan of your writing. How had I missed it before. *jenn smacks self*

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

I often take this vacation from myself, for I am the ultimate daydreamer. Maybe I'll take you on my next daydream vacation

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

*giggling* it seems I am always on this kind of vacation. I lose myself in fantasy all the time. You have put it perfectly in this wonderful poem that gave me a vision filled with all the things I love best. Thank you, for a wonderful vacation.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Very nice, Duncan... and what is a vacation, but a step outside of oneself and into another world of reality... I like it..
