November 20, 2014 Writers Digest 2014 November PAD CHALLENGE/ I'll Never Go There Again

I’ll Never Go There Again

I’ll never go               to baltimore, rock port, or la port

all cities on a bay                    again

i don’t like to back track                               re-travel the same old roads

my plan is to go forward                  full steam ahead

i marched myself                  to the far side of the world

right to the foot of taos mountain               high mountain desert

here i will stay                       i don’t like to look back

nothing to see                                                i haven’t already seen

nothing to do                         i haven’t already done

i look far out to the horizon             mountains                  clear blue skies

that will be my direction                  north, south, east, west

always heading                                 somewhere I haven’t been

kicking up dust                                              collecting bones

writing love letters                remembering where i’ve been... and you

drawing clear pictures                                 on my way to somewhere new
