Love Poem: Turn Around

Turn Around

Turn around on your journey, friend,
    and look back to this hill
    I occupy,
    arms raised...hello? goodbye?
Silhouette on your horizon
    but now the sun is high.

My travellers
    are all strung out
    on dusty roads and highways.
Not surprised, those who 
    know where to find me
    at this extended view.

But you
    in blazing trails across the landscape
    changed the contour of my land.
    No matter now where
    we each choose to stand;
I know your pack, your cap, your cart.
    Look back, my friend;
    at every turn, I recognize
    you still.
