Squinting upward
to see a plane
wondering who's
looking down
wondering of
the distances crossed up above us
and of wandering places
in dusty markets
and noisy crowds
full of color
full of mischief
misplaced in time
still as sacred
looking for foreign love
looking for another life
where will I take you
to see the sights
where will you take me
beyond the sun
to a sandy beach
and wade hands held
similing at roar of water
loving the caress of our still young bodies
in new places
I want to take you

Beautiful wonders,
you have a great gift for seeing the world, the plane above, wondering if people are looking down, is your higher self wanting to see from where you stand, to receive good news.

This write is filled with freshness, experience and understanding, built on a rock. So fresh, its brand new to my eyes just reading it.

Young bodies, young minds...new places.. lets all go there..
