Here

There is more,

more to see, more to dance with

and alongside.

And on the wine-front,

I am more

than satisfied.

There is more sky.

More time to fill

and more pictures to take.

I notice more options

and opportunities.

It feels close enough to reach

and far enough for longing.

I hear more laughter

and conversation.

It is more alive,

more awake.

Each corner holds more detail than I can comprehend.

Here,

there are more achey feet

and greater impatience for caffeine.

And there's a greater scope for change

and exchange.

Here,

there are more words.

Spoken

and written.

Finally.
