A Letter From Home

Epistolary Poem

Hi, how have you been? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. I hear you are roaming new and vast lands, ones that I cannot compare to; or so they say. Are the rivers as nice as people speak of? I doubt it. I have everything that Montana has and more darling. Come back to explore me. Each mountain sprinkled with white tips, every evergreen with pines of bounty, lakes and rivers lathered with life. What more could you want? My sky is just as big, and I too carry grizzlies and glaciers of raw power and beauty. I feel empty without your feet pounding into the dirt. The sun has no one to caress, the moon and the stars long for your stares, raindrops wait for you and the return of your dance. We don’t know what to do without you. Even bald eagles are starting to grow their hair. Come back come back. The views may steal your breath, yet you blow life into mine. Come devour the fruit of the land, and be nurtured as you once were. Your touch, your being, your soul needs to be fed, and so does mine. So come back. I have so much to offer you. Ocean, and deserts, and rivers, and creeks. Mountains, and plains, and forests, and wheat. I am as northwest as it gets, honey. Yet you seem to be on a path to the east. 

Forever,
