Thail living, 2006....

I had a same same but different day sweating in the heat
Happy happy you ok, a life you cannot not beat
Thinking back to a former time when the world was big and far
Its really not so big and really not so far
All life here everyday trying to live a dream
Young and old, rich and poor but its a constant theme

I am having fun and exploring life and all it has to offer
Would I go back to where I once was?, no to the other

I think and feel part of me will always be away
Thinking cool and being hot in a distant land today
So when I am back in the life I left being asked about my day
Same Same but different I reply in a thai kind of way

The looks I'll get, the nods of shame as people walk away
But you and I know its true

Same same but different is every day

More shit poetry add this to your journal that I wrote in, if I did, add
this

I said goodbye and left today to start a life not yet led
A plane from here to who knows  where, but I know I will find a bed
A hut somewhere, near sea and sand for 300 baht a night
No towel, no air con, some sort of shower, so thats alright

My rucksack big, my legs so pale as I step into the world new
But its all ok, never mind the worry, I got the best view
I meet some guys, have a beer and talk about what we know
You go there, and stay here it makes you want to do

No-one nasty or downbeat and we sweat and all feel the same
So dear traveller its all our fault, only us to blame
for the life we have and joy we bring to every one we meet

I love this way and like my life, my flip flops on my feet
I guess it ends, in sight and sound and everything we had
My heart still travels and my mind still visits and deep inside I'm glad

I cant forget the times we had singing on the bus
not back at work, your late for work and oh they are making such a fuss

I leave it there for we all know something they need to find
The life yet led is far and long and never left behind
so close you eyes and raise a smile to something you can only can know
Its changed your life, its made you richer and it will always make you glow

I said goodbye and left today to start a life not lead
Its cold outside, I'm late for work, I am off travelling in my head
So travel far and party hard, its only fair to say
No matter where you go, travelling is never far away

Its in your mind, its in your soul and maybe in your eyes
But my dear friend, you life full and heart so big and only now
are you fully wise.

Travel - somewhere in Thailand 2006

Memories

Now what did I do yesterday
As I lie here in the sun
OH yes, 12 hour trip, then found a room
and lots and lots of fun

I travelled roads far and wide and
wondered all the way
I had the best of times yesterday, will it
be the same today?

Backpacking aint so hard if you know
just what to do
Wear some shorts, always smile and really
just be you

You will met some guys, hang and chill not
worried about the time
You laugh and drink and talk and joke as
you live the sublime

Then is all changes as we all move on
keeping in touch down the line
Now what did I do yesterday as
I lie here in the sun

Ah yes, I remember, I was me , it was fun
