Tanka: Anywhere But Here

Tanka Poets On Site

Waking Up Somewhere New




Photo by Brian Beam 2005
wake up to a new world
safety surrounds me
anywhere but here
walk boldly in the open
embrace the freedom







(Photo taken in Brunate, Italy, 2005. Before my back and knee issues. Walked miles each day with that backpack. Loved every moment.)

      It can, but I love facing that fear when the rest of my environment feels safe to explore, if that makes sense. Thank you for visiting, Brian.
