Through My Eyes.

I’ve climbed the Rocky Mountains
     Beholden to it’s majestic splendor

I’ve hiked the Painted Desert far
     Questing to find my life’s meaning

I’ve stood before the Alaskan glaciers
     Marveling at natures awesomeness

I’ve sailed the Bering Sea alone
     Just to step foot on the other side

I’ve surfed the fire of Kilauea’s eye
     Staring her down announcing…I am

I’ve discovered the landscapes of my world
     Finding the delicate essence of life
          That shines an existent symbiotic beauty
               And reflects what’s next to come for me
