You have my heart ♥️

I wake up mid-air, enclosed in commotion

flex my arms, trying to pluck some comfort


I know this is not my place to be

I know I have to flee

So, I close my eyes so hard

to fool the night, keeping the dark to guard


I picture a place

a far off land

slow and serene

with both snow and sand


Here the sun isn’t harsh

and the wind isn’t rough

an army of pine (trees), standing tall

at all crest and trough


Beyond these are those

I have admired since childhood

the mighty yet modest mountains

melting my very being


A continuing gaze

brings me to life

the unrest is filtered

clearing the haze


I feel safe,

loved and truly cared

the feeling tells me

this place is home


I have been places

meeting people of different kinds

but this place is star-marked

with people of the best kind


Yes, the mountains are my home

they have my heart

the farther I go

the more I wanna go back to the start!
