A GOOD JOURNEY

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
