Country Girl Heart

Feeling a little home sick :(

Living in this concrete jungle,

I am lost in the forbidden truths

As I hold my memories of home

Pictures framed, engraved within my heart.

 

The blackness of the night sky

Witnessing the masterpiece of the Gods

Diamonds filling this poet's imagination

Getting lost in the wonder of it all.

 

Wild horses galloping and trotting

Leaving trails of dust and sand behind

Forgotten in their liberties to be wild and free

In a world all their own, my country home.

 

Running and spinning through debris

Of the wildflowers as they flutter with butterflies

In the warm breezy winds to unknown places

Wherever the wind may carry them.

 

The mountains in the distance soared
With the birds, building high up to the heavens

Where I would hear the echoes of loved ones

And all the surrounding sounds of nature around me.

 

This raw beauty of stone and steel

That I have been waiting to witness for so long

Compares to no other place I know

In my country girl heart.

Author's Note

All the memories I miss of the country.

There are some things we are born with whose beauty is already spoken for in the way that it grew in us. Then there are those where we do some growing up with, to be a part of our experience. The heart and the mind, one to live with, the other to figure out, how. Nice write!
