Dicey Destination

A bus, a flight, a cab, a heli
The route was straight
But such events do not happen daily.

All was planned and locked
Short trip bounded for two days
Until the mind wandered... on a flower's gaze. 

Abandon the bus, but pay the price
Take the fastest plane on earth
And roll the destination dice.

Still a flower in play
But fate had other plans
Maybe a bird chanced a dance.
Flight landed elsewhere
In a valley from otherworld
Stranded in divine nowhere.

A cab ride of half a day
In roads of slippery heaven 
Was there another way? 

Heard of a waterfall, amazing and rare
Paused the cab, heli on cue (a dare?)
Not a seconds thought to spare.

Saw the waterfall, views from nowhere
A trip worth two lifetimes 
Clubbed in transitions, here to there.

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
