We walked the streets of Berlin, and we saw the wall
walked through the gate of Brandenburg and visited a mall.
I ate a Belgian waffle and saw amazing art,
but also homeless people, with a broken heart.
Addicts in their own world, hitting the air
talking to their demons, in their despair.
We didn´t feel safe and it was sad to see
other peoples children not being free.
We left Berlin for Prague, and found another mood
stayed outside city center and ate some Asian food.
Prague was packed with tourists that flooded the street
where every other store sold cannabis and weed.
We saw the Dancing house and the beautiful bridge
we rented a boat and watches teenagers and kids
splashing around, being silly and young
while listening to a floating bars song.
We left Prague for Poland on a beautiful day
stopped and saw the Bone Church along our way.
It´s covered in art, made of skulls and bones
not like catholic churches with gold and precious stones.
I wondered what their lives where like when I looked into their „eyes“
once being little children of every shape and size.
Now dangling from the ceiling or stacked against the wall
and I wondered how they´d feel about it all.
Our trip then continued, day becoming night
when we past the Polish border we saw a flashing light.
We were hit by a car that tried to speed past
as we were turning left, but instead we crashed.
I called 112 while my husband ran to see
if the driver was ok and make sure she didn´t flee.
We sat there for hours as the night became dark
saw a stray dog and listened to it bark.
The cops came at midnight and gave us a fine
said this was our fault and it didn´t help to whine.
We paid right away so we could all go
tired from waiting and feeling kind of low.
We woke the next day to a picturesque scene
of beautiful mountains and cows in between.
We drank our morning coffee and breathed in the air
of total perfection and forgot the unfair.
The days in Zakopane we made sure to spend well
relaxing, having fun and enjoying the hotel.
We climbed a pretty mountain in 24 degrees
while sweating (some crying), longing for a breeze.
The view made it worth it when we reached the top
we felt pride and satisfaction and we were happy to stop.
We took in the beauty and sat beside a nun
that also climbed the mountain, just for fun.
In a tourist packed Lidl we tried to buy some food
but we could hardly move, got pushed, showed and glued
to the corner of the store where it felt like a trap
and my husband looked like he was just about to snap.
We decided not to go to the center anymore
kept to our little town and the local store.
We went up another mountain on some kinda train
where I ate a giant hot dog, grilled over a flame.
We giggled with joy on the gravity slide
where I felt like a child trying not to collide.
Going faster and faster down the hill
while frantically laughing and enjoying the thrill.
And so went our beautiful mountain days
what a wonderful, wonderful, perfect place.
We must come again and stay for a week
strap on our boots and climb every peak.
