Long Way Round Poem by Maya Hanson

Long Way Round



I took the long way round
cause I don't want to forget
everything I've done today
everything we did

I took the long way round
cause I don't want to let go
of the somethings and the everythings
we made and wished for and know

Fast and frisk, brisk and breathy
I show myself a way to live
Past the canyons and the valleys
and wondering what I have to give

Smooth and steady, gentle and slow
I capture how it feels to be alive and awake
Drawing lazy circles in a path of color,
sunlight gives life and the world takes

Running with the wind is exhilarating
but this sunset drive is a memory
Light and sweetness, peaceful endings and life
pouring through my eyes into me

I took the long way round
cause I don't want to forget
everything I've done today
everything we did

I took the long way round
cause I don't want to let go
of the somethings and the everythings
we made and wished for and know
