I sit here in silence
beneath candles glow
my body is missing
where my mind does go
I travel to cities
where I have never been
and I wonder the sights
that I haven't yet seen.
I love many women
that I will never hold
I am covered in Riches
but I do not have gold.
Adventures I've relished,
the future I've held.
Climbing peaks of high mountains.
Watched as forests are felled.
I have flown through the planets.
Visited deep below seas
even been into honey combs
just to visit the Bee's
There is nothing on earth
I have not undertook,
all from this armchair
and all from a good book.

I am covered in Riches
but I do not have gold.
Adventures I've relished,

Climbing peaks of high mountains.
Watched as forests are felled.
I have flown through the planets.
Visited deep below seas
even been into honey combs
just to visit the Bee's
There is nothing on earth
I have not undertook,
