This poem was written for a dear friend of mine, Dara, a beautiful woman who warms my heart and is often a source of inspiration…
On a quest from yesteryear
Western trails with mountain views
Reaching out, behold the sky
Starry nights, in hiking shoes
Dara, dear, your dreams are here
Set full sail, get underway
Step free from inhibition
Forge ahead to change the day
