Going to Colorado to See a James Taylor Concert

Slipping my arms from the sleeves
of everyday life and allowing it
to slide to the floor
like a discarded garment
it will
most certainly
be waiting there
upon my return

appointments
weeds
phone calls
projects
errands
busyness
frozen in time

red rocks ahead
a warm honey voice
dinosaur footprints
 mile-high city
peaks and wildflowers and
wide open spaces
