The Tourist Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

The Inner-self makes a virtual tour,
The Outer-self a physical tour;
Make the journeys of your life,
In bits and pieces now and then,
The Inner meets its Outer in parts!

Discover your un-identified self,
With sights that greet and tweet,
In places and cultures strange,
That beacon and reckon the tour!

In some Aurora moments,
Your own story reflects & mirrors,
In stories of the World,
Those foretold and foregone;
And in the miracles of,
The creator and his creation!

The foods that tease to please,
You could munch and crunch;
And with the drinks that quench,
You can brunch & lunch in Dutch;
In pot-lucks and bonfires many,
You may find your honey!

In the foot trails,
Of those deep country routes,
Their dress and fuss,
Address your thoughts of distress,
And Makes you feel un-alone;

Walk that extra Lane, And
It goes down your Memory Lane;
Take that extra Turn, And
It shall burn your ego Stern;
Bear that extra Smile, And
It shall carry you many Miles;

Stories you would tell and,
Parables you would write,
Of those memories Glory,
Shall preserve in Heritage,
Of Generations to come!
