anchor

I long to show you
all the things that move me,
everything I couldn't
begin to do justice to on paper-

that canyon in the mountains
where the world was new again~
walking barefoot on the beach
just to discover the feel of sand~
to gape, not noticing how large your
eyes have suddenly become
upon seeing downtown Chicago
for the first time~

I want you to see
everything I've seen,
feel the complete awe
I've found in this world,
and lost again
when anchored to this place
alone~
