Not Another Daydream
Posted: September 23rd, 2014, 6:09 pm
A long drive down that crumbling lane
Rocky Hollow Road in a sad state of disrepair
An escape when the day becomes too insane
Soothing birdsong shooing away my despair
The few times I sat there enjoying a smoke
Far enough away from it all without hardly a care
Those pleasant daydreams from which I happily awoke
Then came that warm late spring afternoon
After traveling northwest for half of the day
There I arrived rolling in like an invasive buffoon
An ignorant bumpkin moon calf come from afar
Having not an inclination she would be there
As vivid as a wild flower and standing out like a star
A vision of beauty holding fast more than my ogling stare
Eyes, the color of pools in a mountain stream
The golden hue of an autumn field in her hair
That lovely smile, surely not another daydream
Sensuous lips I wanted to kiss, but did not dare
Set against the river and scenic woodland views
Such beauty which these seasonal vistas cannot compare
Absolutely enchanting and inspiring, this Shenandoah muse
