Week 45: The Valley

Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
from the top of the Blue Ridge
near 20 miles away, I would stand
between two peaks,
sun rising,
looking out and down

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
and I would shut my eyes,
two half-moons
blocking sunlight
like the mountains,
wind lifting my hair,
sprawling my hands out into
it, listening

Oh Shenandoah, it’s far I wander
always, there are things
in the way of light--
but still I dream that
I could stand up
high, feeling,
breath catching on

Oh Shenandoah,
away, we’re bound away.

    What is the 52?

    The 52 project is simple: for an entire year, I'll write one poem a week. I will continue and complete this project through 2014.
