The Garden of the Gods

                         Is full of rocks - and humans like 
                  Ants descend upon it: we are less 
            Productive - we view in awe the sky, 
      the rocks themselves - a marvel
we had no hand in: like birth 

Like the humans we bring with us - for me 
I’ve seen it a few times with a few different folks

The rocks remain the same - this last time 
I brought my own creation - she spoke of birds 

Flowers: the past - the present - her future: I stepped 
Away then walked back - I’m not ready not yet 

And for a moment as we climbed up the ute trail 
                   She reached back and reached for my hand
