With one hand dropping onto the bongo,
followed by the next
wild to the beat of my own drum
I get lost in the present
with the radio station on static
the only english pop station I could find,
memories of my rhythm
thoughts on how I danced around
that 10th story condo in Cairo
cloudwalking and time traveling
by the sound of a familiar song
I find myself lost in my mind
with memories resonating so profound.
(I think the most beautiful thing gained
was not the destination,
but the fact that I went out of my way-
and took the opportunity to make memories
that still live on today).
