Comfort

You could find comfort
in a place like this:

surrounded by
the soothing pull of silence,

the guaranteed gravity
of rushing rivers,

the vanilla fragrance
emitted from
sun-warmed Ponderosas,

wide views of big sky
that bulge with
afternoon cumulus,

the presence of mountains,
an open invitation
to enter

these images
of dreams
that could come true.
