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.

What a sweet and wonderful sentiment. I am sure she was thrilled with this one.

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks K.L. oh she smiled and gave me that look lol So many dedicated to her nowadays as it should be

Yes, that longing for the plains, the open road, I related well to this piece Tate. Beautiful tribute to your mate, well done.
There is nothing barring the two of you hitting that road together, and exploring the old haunts, the new places that draw you. Just two weeks ago I picked up a guide book to Route 66 and my wife and I are planning to retrace that highway, sometime, soon.
Best of both worlds, the road, and a partner to share it with.
Vaya con dios, amigo.

You write with such a tender, moving honesty that is so refreshing.. You are truly blessed and this is such a lovely tribute to that treasure at the end of the rainbow... another awesome piece sir... I thoroughly enjoyed...

Thank you April it is so different for me now to be so in love as opposed to the life I had before her and after my divorce some 6 yrs ago.In the 5 yrs we have been married we have not shared a cross word. I wake to a smile every day

Thanks Ainash I have written Becky many but not enough to fill the chest that she has warmed.

[R Smith]

Looks pretty much to me like you'll shine always Tate, such a beautiful poem, has a country music song feel to it and I love country music, the first stanza is a killer really pulls you in and takes to places you always want to live forever in, the whole poem is just as lovely as any writing I have seen, my library will not be complete without it :)

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you sir. I have a great wife and she and I are so easily paired to one another.
