10 Days ’til Departure (A Poem)

Published:


10 days until freedom, like I’ve never known before,

10 more days until I see, art and culture galore.

10 more mornings before I witness, the beautiful Swiss sunrise

and 10 more goodnights, before I sleep, under Italy’s starlit skies.

10 days of “how can I assist you today?”, until I walk down Lucerne’s cobbled streets

10 showers left until I cross the Atlantic, buckled tight in my plane seat.

10 more exercise routines before I’m filled with antipasti.

10 days of sun dried Florida, until Europe wraps its arms around me.
