Wandering

Wandering paths, merely brush pushed aside by eager hands

feet pressing firm on uncharted land

the vantage points of a cliff undiscovered

rustles the passion in me, that I had longed to recover

lost along the way, between the miles traveled and moments marked in my past

I cover the tracks

for home is where I am at the moment

I reach to the sunrise arms spread wide trying to hold it

close to my chest to scare off the winter air rushing over my skin

one foot after the other and I begin

a skyline of ridges and peaks

seem to swallow me

in their lush valleys, rich with soil and trees racing to the heavens stopping just shy

I sit on the ledge of a rock jutting over the valley, this paradise is mine

wandering the world, the way it was meant to be

wandering forever the home always meant for me...
