The Adventure Part One! Read This First
Greatest Treasure
I want to write it all
Down
For you
To live this life and
Live it through and though
I want to swim
In the Black Sea
Salt soaked
Never even close
To sinking
I want to grasp each moment
Like
A
pineapple where I am
Ripping away at the flesh
And letting its juces drip down
My
Face
I want to float
Along
The amazons
Without a compass
I’ ll use the sun as my guide
The alligators yawn good morning
And I will
Ponder
AM I THEIR BREAKFAST?
I
Hear a rustling among the tri-layered forest
The
Monkeys playing their silly games peer down upon me
And
Keep me company.
I t is h ere whe re I fe el shel tered by their
Haven
I want to grasp at the wheel of a s hip
To feel the groaning
Of the
Solid boat beneath me
I want to get lost
Only to be found
By
You
I want a homecoming
Banners raised high
While
My sails fly
The sea
has a will of its and
I am its mistress
Getting carried away
I want to walk through African
S a v a n n a h s
Where the grass is so long
I get lost
A
s I dip into
Watering holes
I want to bask in the African sun
Walking alongside the giraffes
Silently
Elegant I peer in wonder
And
Speaking softly to
Elephants
Who raise their
Mighty ears
To
Respond
With trumpeting laughter
