South Of Someplace: The Woods

Friday, October 30, 2020

If you go first

And I’m left alone

I’ll find a small house

Far out of town

Deep in the woods

The quiet woods

Where I’ll live with a dog

A big, happy dog

And we’ll go for walks

Long adventurous hikes

I’ll toss a ball

And he’ll bring it back

Toss and fetch

Will be our friendly game

Before he runs off

On his own for a while

Dreaming of pheasants

And rabbits to chase

While I stay back

On the meandering path

Feeling the breeze

That slips through the trees

As I dream of you

Only of you

Of holding you

Here in my arms

One more time
