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.

your welcome

[Penny]

Growing up is nothing but finding stability and balance. Every cassanova and such turns to a simple life by the time he is spent. But is it correct to say.. that he never reflected upon things in youth or he never longed for adventure in old age?. Very nice poem sir. Thanks for sharing.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Penny

[Penny]

It is truly my pleasure.

[Ashira Macy]

Awwww! This is super sweet, and I am sure she absolutely loved this when you showed it to her. Also, she is gorgeous! Many things can make you want to leave a place, but it only takes one amazing person to make you know you are meant to stay.

[Tate Morgan]

I stay up every night till 11;30 to see her in the door from work and spend all the time i can in her company and in 5 yrs not onr argument We truly love each other

[Ashira Macy]

[Bill O. Writes]

Wonderful positive spin on the process of aging and seeing the importance of now rather than times that have already passed

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Bill very much

[Mélania Woolf]

Amazing.
When a person becomes home to you, a skin to which you belong, something magical happens, love is felt and a great poem is born !

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I know I am very lucky to have such a wife and top never have a worry of her heart and soul. It is nice to see that love in her face every night. I have been married to her 4 yrs now and every night i wait up till 11 for her to get home from work.

[Mélania Woolf]

[A.A.Romanczuk]

To be able to settle your roots in someone and let them grow...that is wealth indeed.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you A.A. I guess i am just warm inside I am happy nowadays I run home at night and gave up running the bars and everything else I like where i am in life now. Thank you

[A.A.Romanczuk]

When you find your happiness, life becomes a gift...and your happiness becomes infectious

[Tate Morgan]

oh yeah it sure does it is nice to not have the anxiety of youth anymore though the tradoff of youth for wisdom is a bit tough as wrote once in the poem Why Me? As I no longer the question god traded me wisdom for truth In teaching me the meaning of life, in exchange he took my youth

[Parimal Pratyush]
