Bigger things

There is a riverbed somewhere

that no human finger as touched

There is a forest somewhere

that no human has ever walked

There is a horizon

never to be seen by any human eye

Stallions upon stallions upon stallions

that no human will ever ride

A heartbeat of the wild

we will never dance to

stronger winds than we can keep our ground to

Breathtaking sights that wont return our breaths

For now I will be content with my books

my dogs and cats

my house in the city

my smaller things

Author's Note

inspired by a poem I read once called trust

Yes, there are many wonderful places and many adventures waiting to be taken, but the fact you can be happy with the simple things will keep you happy. That is what matters in this life. The simple things are what keep us going. I liked the upbeat attitude in this one. Lydi**

I love the concept of this poem, thou we aspire to have great things its better just be content with what we have. The moment we stop searching we'll realize how bless we already are.

I enjoyed the poem. You took the reader to private and secret places and led them back home and the dog and the cat. A very nice ride in your words. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
