sand at your feet
you are a climber, always looking
for a place to see further.
your caution seeks a proven purchase,
but your feet are on ancient sand.

you roam and discover,
your spirit advising your feet to travel.
oh that your feet might take you
to good perspectives in safe sequences

each learning is a gift of old knowing.
each idea is an old memory.
you have secured your ropes
in many places to many people.

and now your spirit has directed your feet home
to make a home
