The Hudson River
From miles away I hear her voice
Wherever I go she is in my blood
Visions of her drift in my mind as night soothes me to sleep
I ride alongside her with the wind in my hair, the sun on my face
She parts the mountains and paves the valleys
She is the pathway to my home
I am realizing how much she has become a part of me
Longing to drift on her currents and wake up where the sea meets her open mouth to the city below
I breathe her in and cool my feet in her in visions of days past and memories to come.
