I wander
The mesa is exotic
Distant mountains
Discoveries
My significance
My insignificance
Setting sun
Rising moon
Who am I?
Alone
Standing here
Vulnerable
I answer:
No one
Someone
I can think
Rise, fall, and rise
once more
Decipher meaning
Understand joy
Seek happiness
Obligate me
Feel spirits about
Peace
Grandeur
Thankfulness
Renewal
Determination
Ascend from simple
To the complex
Where fullness will be found
Understanding of the profound
A sense of duty
a need to plan
Take step one
Then: Keep moving on
Equations solved
I look about me:
Dust
Artifacts
Reminders of the past
Sacredness
Desire to be:
Past
Present
Future
Life is a gift
So precious
