wild and green
my moose-eyed dream
spirit lover, Maine…
receive me, wide expanse.
Welcome me in,
enfold me in your love.
Let your big hands hold me
against velvet spruces
lacy
across western mountain breasts.
Let your cool, clear waters
babble through my yearning chest…
soothe me with rock polishing waves,
lick me with wild music
for I have craved your daily presence
hungered for your piny essence
laid my ear upon your mound
that I could hear your pulsing sound,
the comfort of your deep heart beat.
Gather me in and hold me close.
Wrap me in your working clothes,
your humble folk
your simple natural goodness.
Give me a bank
filled with ponds,
hills and trees,
the riches of woodland,
the sweetness of breeze. Blessed am I
returning to your arms again.
Hold me close.
Quiet my laboring breath.
And don't let me go…
oh, Maine!
