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.
