the gate i built shut tight behind me

each stone i personally picked out to step on never gets left out each time i make my way

the shrubbery i have clustered along the way gets shoved back then tied off in the middle often

too close to the walkway though if excited to hang out

i can understand

my area is where i would rather be

so many spots & things that make me say ahh

not only is it my favorite word to let out so slowly gratifying & meaningful

around here it's hard not to

here inside is where you smile

you draw up

a map out

to see your sunrise

wake for a of late day

stream carving a path

imagining what it will be like

put one in here

like so long ago

a place to come back

kept in mind along the long track

a rhyme in mind to see if you can get me to resay

POEM
