Precious Time through Space

Where ’ere might trek I?

 

Purple-mountain Rocky high claimed this heart sure

Lovely Oregon-green Pacific-blue seduced intent pure

 

Touched California obelisk giant sentinels born 300 year-date

Traversed ole 101 along picturesque coast across a Golden Gate

 

Tasted French-accent of beautiful Victoria, British Columbia-town

Witnessed emerald San Juan Isles, trekked westward ferry-bound

 

Photographed thirty-foot elk antler tower up ole Cody, Wyoming-way

Climbed 60 million year old monoliths Colorado Garden-of-the-gods play

 

Savored Caribbean crystal water, strolled sparkle white-sand beach

Within thirty days set foot on blue-Pacific coast in westward reach

 

Honkey-tonked down Nashville-town; rode Ft. Worth rodeo-bull at Billy Bob

Spring break S. Padre, golf down Mexico-way for fun just to Spanish hob-nob

 

Travelled five hundred miles Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville mansion Vanderbilt

St. Charles, MO frequented, dared surreptitious peak under Scotsman’s woolen kilt

 

Dined on Pink Pig onion stack down hot-Tampa Gulf-direction

Been to Chi-town Navy Pier, avoided every city insurrection

 

Trekked northern route to see the sights on steam-fantasy Am-track

Appreciated season’s space of spectacle like a wardrobe closet rack

 

Returned to ancestral “roots” with a visit to yon “Father-land”

One day, perhaps, extensive travel though none is present-planned

 

Stood under the Arch celebrating 4^th fireworks annual display-show

Satisfied with “Simple” adventure-found where ’ere might I go

 

Ushered in many a pastel dawn, coaxed sunrise, high noon sun

Caressed purple dusk to mid-night mist; one more day be won

 

Dare, live I, just south of bright high sun-time come-noon

A bit west, just under alabaster-shadowed pale full moon

 

Perpetual innocent-sweetness loving-time through space awesome residual

Nature: wind, water, fire, horses; myriad-pleasured “Independent Individual”

 

Amen!
