I love to wander
a territory all mine
it’s no one else’s land
entrance banned
from all outsiders
open
vast
sprawling
no horizons
no end
A place
I can run, hide, or seek
I laze in sun
or weep in cloudy gray
I plod steadily along
with heavy feet
or skip with light heart
This land is mine to own
sometimes it owns me
a saving grace
or a graceful fall
it doesn’t matter
it’s the only thing
that is all mine
