here i am

i've fond a version heaven here at half moon bay.

there are so many,

which leaves me excited and intimidated.

do you have one in your head

the sun is gentle

the wind presses on, softly this time

i've just read about love

and now I am seeing it.

a bench

is near the edge with wildflowers, a blue heron.

dog walkers, lovers, strangers saunter by

because no one is rushing the sun.

i've never fit quite like this.

nestled into this new landscape:

welcomed and warmed
