A walk down the street
Through the bushes
Across the creek
Down and around the curve of the path
Past the construction site
A stop in a cave
Respite from the sun
A place to rest
On down the hill
Spring flowers all around
Up to a stunning vista
Of graffiti and bullet holes
Walk down and back across
Rock to rock, rock to rock
Find a fiberglass cylinder
Stop to read a story
Sun streaming down on the rocks
Green leaves making green shadows on the walls
A living tree across the water
Climb, and climb, and climb
So high!
Look through the leaves
Sighs and smiles
Climb back down, and back up a hill
Beautiful fields
What's at the top of that hill?
And that one?
Get to the top and see out to the vast beyond
Blue ocean with sunlight bright on the surface
Turn around and see dark storm clouds against the brightly lit meadows
Walk down
Huge gorge dug away by man
Sit on the edge
Swimming feeling, discomfort
Adrenaline from looking from heights
Throw rocks over
Sailing, sailing, sailing through the air, then
Thud
Nervous energy
Thoughts of falling over
Back away from the edge
Go away from the edge
Look the other direction
Rainbow!
Turn around and around and around
Rainbow right
Rainbow left
Beautiful clouds
Ocean to the back
Rainbow brightens
It starts to rain
I am filled
Such beauty
I overflow with emotion
First tears, lots of tears
So, so beautiful
Then running and sighs
Loud sighs of happiness
Sun is setting
Clouds taking color
Rainbow reappearing
Looking at my love
Happiness in the eyes
Walk home
Hand in hand
The world is magical
Very great poem and picture. What a beautiful place you live in.
