American West as the Sun Goes Down

 

 

feelings of the American West as the sun goes down

soft and deep and mysterious

and yet so inviting

so intriguing

it’s the only thing I’m interested in

the only sensation I want wrapped around me

the only future I want to dive into deep conversation with

the only wild heart I want tangled with mine

it feels familiar and grounding

and at the same time so out of reach and intangible

I just remember how close my face felt to the sun

that day I first experienced it in person

this one feels different than places in the past

it feels so much deeper

more intentional

connected, though distant

this one feels different
