By Ryan Novak
I’ve seen the stars from the mountain tops
Free of all but their light
I still love the stars from below
I’ve swam in the world’s largest lake
I felt the kiss upon my skin
Lower St. Regis still excites me
I dove from cliffs in Sicily
Cliffs from Odyssian tales
My heart soared and fluttered
I still love the rope swing
I’ve walked along the shores of Hawaii
I felt the embrace of sand and waves
I still love presidents point
I dove in sunken caves of Okinawa
Overjoyed as I discovered new worlds
I still love each discovery made
At Mt. Fuji I stared at the sky
The wind ran her fingers through my hair
I still love the breeze by the willow
On the day I awoke here
I felt in my heart
The love was there from the start
This is awesome Ryan. I feel the same way about the places I go, although it sounds like your repertoire is a little more expansive. Keep on writing!
Very nicely written poem that rings so true to me. Of all the places I’ve been graced to explore, there’s still so much the draws me back to the ADKs and Paul Smiths.
This is wonderful
