why camel?

watching me, my friend once said:
I know why you're feeling sad.
it's your soul that's still behind.
this is what you cannot find.

because when you move so fast
across all those seas so vast,
your soul doesn't stick to you
it needs more time to get through.
it can only move as fast
as a camel's march would last.

that's why, when you change a place
there's a risk that you must face:
feeling empty for a day
or a month - it's hard to say
till your soul will make it there
it's a wait that's hard to bear...

but be patient, little friend
it will come and it will mend
all hard feelings, sadness, pain.
it'll all go and you'll regain
everything there is the best:
love, hope, playfulness and zest!
