Searching for the lost city of Z ...

I'm waiting to see The Lost City of Z - 

I can remember saying to my teacher I want to be an explorer -

I was 12 years old - 

I'd read about Colonel Fawcett -

I dreamed of forgotten kingdoms in the jungle - 

I'd study maps of the Amazon and the Empty Quarter - 

I longed to set up camp under strange stars, to meet shamans with feathers in their hair -

I saw myself riding a dromedary across an ocean of sand - 

I wanted to uncover the tomb of a legendary king - 

No you can't my teacher said -  everything's been discovered - 

No it hasn't I thought -
