When I am Up there

After a slow and satisfying walk

I sit down

And lose myself in the scenery

I see clouds changing shape and

The sunlight

Piercing the clouds

The wind hits me in the face

And I close my eyes

I am happy in that moment

I try capturing what I see when I am

Up there

But it never comes out the way I want it to

In pictures or on page

So I decide to just be in the moment

I look down and trace the path back home

Then to familiar houses

Remembering

I have made a lot of promises up

Some kept and some

Still working on
