The Headpond
Take me to where the water flows
where the wind blows through the trees
and down to the river
where we have campfires whenever we want.
Take me to the river where nights seem endless
where loons yell and coyotes howl
The place we can swim everyday in the
summertime
Where we were mermaids
Where my uncle taught us to fish
Where we can paddleboard for hours
The place we kayaked to the other side to
visit my cousins
Where nights are cold and mornings are bright
Where dad is always fixing something
Where the concrete roads stop and the dirt road starts
The place an old beat up cabin used to stand
Where sun shines and rain falls
Take me home
to the Headpond.
