I am a native Houstonian.
Home after two weeks of exploring
my own State.
I thought my state’s rough terrain
was navigating in and out of traffic,
climbing highway overpasses.

On the contrary, your State is beautiful in all the right places!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen.
DeleteTexas is amazing. I am find of Marfa myself. But Houston is 1890's-1900ok too. Good eats!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Toni.
DeleteLiving in a city does make you view the world differently, then a a trip to the country opens wide your eyes to reality.
ReplyDeleteIt really does, thank you.
DeleteThe journey is the thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kerry.
DeleteHaha, the city! Good to get out and discover so much more.
ReplyDeleteSomehow your poem brought up for me the great song Anchorage by Michelle Shocked. "Texas always seemed so big..."
Oh, I'll have to look that up, thanks, Marian.
DeleteSo much more... same thing everywhere, life is so much more than the cities.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAh, yes, the city life is all about navigating through crowds and vehicles and that becomes our preoccupation. There is so much out there beyond that. Very well penned!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anmol.
DeleteLOL --- funny how we are so often, strangers in our own states/provinces and countries! sometimes, it pays to explore within one's own backyard :)
ReplyDeleteTrue, thank you, Pat.
DeleteI am a transplanted Houstonian who needs to see much more of her home state.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie.
DeleteOH the vastness of TX. We started out our marriage in the Hill Country of San Antonio. The bluebell fields took my breath away ... yes, get out and explore.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteEveryone should have a break from city life occasionally to recharge the survival batteries.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteFrom the picture...it looks beautiful- as nature intended.
ReplyDeleteYes, Thanks, Vivian.
DeleteBut if the trip was fun, it’s worth it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sara.
