I miss Ohio. I miss us there.
Stormy mornings
And deepest snow
That land of rivers
Paddling in their gentle flow.
…
I miss our evenings
The flicker of lightning
On a warm summer night
Visits from humming birds
Holding you tight
…
Red tailed Hawks
And White tailed deer
Turtles and bullfrogs
View from my eyrie
As people walk dogs
…
I remember days out
Short North market
Chili ice cream
Flowers and music
Balcony dreams.
…
Soft Ohio accents
And Harleys … so many
Kissing goodbye, kissing hello
A note in your lunchbox
Missing you so.
…
Columbus and Cleveland
Cincinnati, Holmes County
Long drives, Starbucks and Amish
Holding hands at the mall
Airport anguish
…
Red ball sun rising on the horizon
Driving the freeway
White clouds in a huge Ohio sky
Coffee and smoke stops
My hand on your thigh.
…
Fireflies dancing
Frogs croaking
Our song of the night
And missing awakening
With you in grey morning light.
…
Nearly two years ago now.
I left you once more
I said my goodbyes
And still I think quietly
God bless you Buckeyes …
