From London to Lisboa

From London to Lisboa

A Poem by J Schwenk
"

Adventure of a lifetime, hands down. *Travel the world while life has so much to offer.

"
The plane took off for Lisboa
I felt excited, not knowing what the couple of days would bring
That's the beauty, not knowing
I was up for adventure
I strive for adventure, to have the time of my life
I was looking forward to the sun
I missed the sun
Lisboa
Beautiful
Warm
Sunny
Paradise
The smell of the fresh sea hit the air
Soft, acoustic music
Fine Portuguese red wine
I felt content
This beautiful world surrounds me
See the world through your eyes
Travel places and get wonderfully lost
Alfami District
A little piece of history frozen in time
Travel the world 
And see what life has to offer
Frozen dreams 
Encapsulated past 
I glanced at the world before me
It's beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, insane, sweet, wonderful and out of this world
No words could describe this whole experience
Tour de Belem
Dinner at the hostel
Walking in Portugal
Bar hopping
Getting lost in Alfami District
Enjoyed every moment of it
I know for sure I want to backpack around the world after uni
I love to travel
Wanderlust
Sunday arrived
Got lost in a beautiful place
I didn't want to leave
4 o'clock came
The dreaded moment
I walked on the cobblestone streets
Knowing I will definitely come back to Lisboa again
To see every little thing life has to offer
To explore more of this beautiful, insane, wonderful city
See you soon, Lisbon
I will keep my word
Traveller's Hostel, Rua Augusta 89, Lisboa Portugal
I have the address engraved in my memory
I looked out the window in the plane
Flying across Spain now
I drank red wine
Look at the map of Alfami District
Stared at the places I've been to
And at those where I haven't
Almost to England
Flew over Kent
The plane landed in London.

It is awesome to be able to imagine being the person experiencing these things said in the poem. It seems more of a little story of the journey versus a poem.

Beautifully written. Now I too have and will visit Lisbon! Well done!
