I don't have to go anywhere to know Not anymore I've often wondered Am I on the wrong side of the sea? Not if it means a mothers love is the same Of all the places I've never been The clouds still rain And the skies cradle the sun and moon Nobody knows how much I listen My words are my ears Then I know enough to have traveled far away But I did it standing right here

The Sea Tells Me
Excuse me,  where is LionAir ? Sorry,  wrong terminal. But, to be fair, It's not far. Down the escalator turn left see the sign. Up the elevator turn right You will be fine.                   I    Was not ! No crossing the yellow line ! Excuse me,  ? LionAir ? Sure, follow the footprints  on the gound about 5 miles to walk about you will be there in no time at all.                     I  Was not ! The footprints  ended in a wall. LionAir ? I ask, Yeah, follow the guy in a yellow vest he is heading there too.                he    Was not ! The dude diverted to a Portaloo. Where is the Lion ****** Air ? Follow the crowd ? Arrive en masse ?                    Nope ! They got on the bus. Oops, what's  this ? LionAir ! No sign,  no footprints,  no line But, I'm  finally there ! The name has been changed to protect the innocent.   Me.

Airport travails.
Life gives you a whirlwind spin Tumbling here and there And then wrung, almost dry Then sun dries out the rest Left hanging on the line
