Sedona
I’ve decided to revisit Sedona at the end of July, I can’t wait, I am so excited! This time I’m going to really scope everything out and take notes. I really think I do want to retire there someday.
This is the only place besides Vegas (and that was just to gamble again) that I have purposely visited more than once on vacation. I like going to places that I’ve never gone to before. I’ve visited specific states more than once but each time it’s been to a different city. However, there’s something just so magical about Sedona that I’ve decided to make an exception.

Sedona
I’ve heard rumors of you for years
It seemed as if everyone was
always
singing your praises
Your natural beauty, power,
mystique
*******************
My teachers,
they all have lived with you
and I
have always wanted to meet
and appreciate
your red rock canyons
and penetrate
the mysteries within you
*************************
It was through
the back seat car window
I first was introduced to you
and I knew
that the image of you
would never fade away
************************
When I was young
I did not have the opportunity to
commune with nature
So once I was older
whenever I could
I visited your sister
the water
***********************
I immersed myself in her
breathed in the intoxicating
salt-water air
Cool ocean breeze skipping lightly on my skin
I didn’t know
the desert
could possibly compare
****************************
Where
have you been all my life Sedona?
Broke down crying uncontrollably
as if you were a soul mate
with whom I parted company
but who then decided finally
to come back to me
****************************
Or maybe…
I left you once a long long time ago
and now centuries have passed
and I’ve come back home
*****************************
Once I wondered
why so many came
and overstayed their visit
but now I ask
how could they not?
Clothed in red-orange
arrayed in peach colored hues
and dark green foliage
your early morning March wind
breathes through my hair lovingly
Fingering my seven chakra quartz crystal necklace
having heard all which are tangled in your vortexes
are supposed to be
amplified,
magnified
but I did not plan on being
so stupefied
********************************
Peace
Bliss
Joy
Wonder
and Gratitude
These are the good-bye gifts you have bestowed upon me
I will be back Sedona
you will see
So, as I will never forget you
please don’t forget me…..
KBR
