Far and Wide

 

like father-
I am an explorer
of nature     and all creatures

on hikes

far  and  wild

I discovered    my love
and passion for
     forests and fauna_
 
visits to art galleries-
with grandma     is where I found art_

mom  loved her garden

far  and  wild

and from her I grew
   to love flowers growing
in gardens tamed_

but my passion
            it for wildflowers
tangled and weaving_

far  and  wild

and I have a love
        for meandering _

far
  and
    wild
