Long Miles Coffee

but somehow…

September 23, 2011 by karasscreative

In silence I can finally see you.

This aloneness soothes my weary self away.

Even though it’s just.one.minute.

I’m bent like a twig before you,

the Creator of all time.

 

My minds eye wanders to love.

Your love for this place.

I can see it as clear as day, you love this land.

You are chasing it down…

like my baby, arms wide, running after a new friend.

 

This no electricity, barely any running water,

dusty, pot hole infested, people killing for no reason land.

You hover over it.

Aching to snatch it up from misery.

To hold it close.

 

Here the sun shines like a light chasers dream.

Like my dream.

The mountains are purple with it,

the lake reflects it back boldly.

You love this land and at first…

 

I thought I didn’t.

I thought I couldn’t.

I was sure I wouldn’t…

but somehow,

I already do.
