At the close of my winded trail
Were the shorelines of home
And the hills
Of jagged green splendor

Afar
From the coils of war
From the will of my trials
I scaled into bliss

In an upward spiral
To peer, far and wide
At the glistening sprawl
Of turbulent blue

Where I lovingly scrawled
In perfect peace
Until fully undone
Thankful, sopping and fed
