Don't ever think these rolling hills will leave me behind-
I'll always find my way back to you.
Telephone poles stretch wires across carpets of farmland
singed from the flaming horizon;
I know they lead me back.
Lakes reflect blue skies
that carry freshly-stuffed clouds.
Double yellow highway lines prevent me from driving on the other side
but point to home.
Let the wind blow my hair away,
but not my mind,
set on moving ahead
and seeing your face again.

I figured since you replied to my other comment i could post on this sucker,-not that it sucks, its just, you know, a figure of speech...(?). i love your stlye captain. I wish i could get inspirerated the way you were on this piece, but mr. inspiron man dont come often. you really did your dance on the first and fourth lines, and the quote thing helps me appreciate the poem. you're so observstorical captain.
