Mind-echoes!

 

Rambling-echoes in-the-mind!

 

Spied yonder Rocky Mountain snow-capped summit-high

From First View-site east Kit Carson-way an awesome-My!

 

Stood, have I, several-times on frigid ole Pike’s Peak grand-view

Squinted eastward for “home” across yon prairie heatwave-skew

 

And, turned, I did, toward yonder horizon-west expansion-gaze

“Too”-far, again. The ardent-wish abandoned in yon purple-haze

 

Can’t “see” the want with hopeful-physical focus limited-sight

Ah! But---in me mind…eternal-springs cool a universe-delight

 

And---No-one can obfuscate my Love!...nor ravage me harbor-innocent

For---I shall persevere…like spring-time ever-present patient- reticent

 

When “home” again in sadness for the cool-of-snow fresh-dreams

Look west for Colorado-high to mental there-trek in secret-schemes

 

Or, one day, somewhere, sometime, to brave the frigid Oregon-coast surf

She truly holds this gypsy-heart; will hang my hat on Love’s “home”-turf
