Though I knew that countless people travel around the earth
Though the world has become a small place after the internet birth
I felt it was nothing special if I travel to the new nation.
Why express surpises over such common emotion.
After much thought on how to react and what to feel
I opted for excitement over the “It’s so obvious deal ! ”
If I had taken it as an obvious flight,
I sure would have missed the first experience delight.
I boarded the flight to fly to a new country,
With the mixed feelings about the unseen territory.
Wth curiosity to experience what lies beyond the ocean,
My heartbeats were soaring with every bit of motion .
At a few thousand feet above
The world was without borders,
The sky was blessed with peace
by the grace of some divine orders.
In the new land of world,Things looked very well,
Every comfort of its kind,People could avail.
But it wasn’t the sparkling lights that made the city shine,
Neither were the tall buildings making it look fine.
It was the same cool breeze and the colorful flowers,
Gentle smiles of innocent kids & drizzling rainy showers
That made the place lively and reflected universal soul,
The same ingredients of life I had seen at my place.
In the first visit itself I felt I came to know;
Although the nations had different names,
The philosophy of life all remained the same.
