Grandpa parks beside a bus
I put down the book I had read
Conversations behind us
An hour long adventure ahead
I leave my troubles behind
Abandon all anxiety
Let excitement fill my mind
Let positivity guide me
Many miles of stone we cross
The path leading up to the top
Keep to the trail; don’t get lost
We take breaks but never stop
When at last we both arrive
With the Delicate Arch in sight
The rocks seem to come alive
Towers stretching towards great heights
As I stand under the arch
Gravity suddenly shifts
I reach out, grasp onto the arch
As I feel my whole body lift
I leave the world behind me
Fall into the sky, into space
‘Til the earth’s a marble, blue and green
With the stars shining on my face
Far away, a pair of eyes
Look back at me from worlds unknown
“I see you” I think as I fly
Back to earth, the world of my own
Back where a young woman shines
A memory secured in time.
