Because of Montana

Because of Montana
I am with you,
now.
Because of Montana
the wind still whispers
through the pines.
Because of Montana
I can lay next to you
even here in the desert
and heat shimmering,
cement of a city.

John Fleming August 3, 2025 at 10:24 AM Loved it! I went over to Montana once when I was visiting Canada. Your poem stirs long ago memories. If I am right in remembering...while there, I went into Glacier National Park. Cheers, Douglas! :) john Douglas Brown August 11, 2025 at 10:16 AM Thanks John!
