Let’s Lose Ourselves In The World

To escape

Watercolor by Radha Chetna Laxhmi ©

Let’s get lost in the woods of Quito,
Let’s swim in a wild Scottish lake on a rainy day,
Let's climb a misty Himalayan hill through the dark
And scream as loud as we never dared

Let’s dive deep into Madagascar’s ocean blue
Let’s find a whale or maybe a few
Let’s swim with the gentle giants in the cool lap of the sea
Till we forget all that we knew

Let’s dance the tango all night on the streets of Buenos Aires
Let’s pay homage to Rio’s Carnaval
Let’s stumble upon the ruins of an ancient temple in Laos
That we pretend we already knew

Let’s sit within it’s growing walls
Wrapped in emerald and viridian hues
Let’s close our eyes, sweet lover
Till we can hear their rhythm and blues
