Explorations

How shall I explore?

By car on open roadways

Mouth dropped

Taking in a beauty too great

to hold in one lifetime? 

Or maybe. . .

by settling in a city,

in a job, in a home

and "doing life" among

a people I do not understand? 

Is exploration friendship - 

where I find gems and vipers

by turning over, digging up

the hard surfaces of my soul? 

Or maybe it is growing

Deeper in one square mile

Reaching higher into 

the area's dimensionality - 

MY dimensionality. . .

Open my eyes to SEE

the myriads of moments and 

places and people and qualities

which beg to be explored.
