Longing

Rebecca

Though now the clouds roll over me

as the west winds have blown

I find I long for distant plains

endless skies I have known

 

But what to me was east and west

and lure of many lands

could never replace the green grass

with tepid heated sands

 

For here was where I set my roots

bright summers in the glen

A-wash in colors of the fall

your heart shines now as then

Author's Note

While at times I long for adventure from my misspent youth. I always turn to Becky and smile, realizing, I have come to the end of the rainbow.

[Baby Ricochet]

This is some poem. Makes me realize why your rhymes have an air of maturity and mine are more like perverted nursery rhymes.

[Tate Morgan]

thank you I think the same of yours.

[Tate Morgan]

You know your works show true brilliance and many are so enlightened set to the language of the street they speak to us

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

[Tate Morgan]

[Hitchhiker]

Ahhh . . . I envy people with good roots. I came from counterfeit roots, and it would have been okay with me, but when push came to shove I was lied to. I left those counterfeit roots and never went back. I loved this very feel good poem, Tate Morgan, and I like you photo also . . .

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I am glad you liked it.

But what to me was east and west
and lure of many lands
could never replace the green grass
with tepid heated sands

Thank you very much Marion

[TL Boehm]

what a beautiful poem. Put a lump in my throat reading it. That is what its all about. Even though it sounds a bit cliche, just having that person to share your life with - that's the win.

[Tate Morgan]

A life of sharing obviously brings many possibilities ... to the fore. But today we cherish that which we live with heart and soul. Nice ...

[Tate Morgan]

[Dayran]

The feeling is mutual.

you definitely have that rainbow, Tate...the way you speak of her, and write of her...

a love of many soft colors, in a deep blue sky...after weathering the storms of youth...you have landed in a comforting place.

it's so nice when we long for what we already have...that doesn't get to happen to often.

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks Jacob I am lucky to be sure
