Composition Me

I remember my first sight of

The Acropolis in Greece, a place

from which my grandfather came;

the marble columns of antiquity

reaching out with all that history.

I remember a visit to the Grand

Canyon, its broad, wondrous expanse,

the cavernous depths of the Earth’s

exposed multi-layered geology.

I recall stopping along highways

spanning the State of Utah to take

in the sweeping expanse of such a

breath-taking and prehistoric land.

And too, I must consider the woman

who had chosen to stand beside me.

All are mysteries which over time

became integral and vital pieces of

a lifetime puzzle, making a more

complete composition of me, one

I had never considered being before.
