Somehow Safe

Come with me
to foreign lands.

Savor the colors,
the smells, the sounds
of languages we cannot understand.

Taste food anew,
and feel new suns on your skin.

Feel the fear

and exhilaration of newness,
of leaping, yes leaping
into strange places,
dangerous places,

somehow safe
when we leap
together.

About this poem.

Life is an adventure best taken with someone you feel safe with.

The picture is of Venice. My absolute, total, favorite place on the planet.

Add these two things together, and voila, a poem.
