D.W. Rodgers Poet Free verse

This Land Within Me

"i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go . . . "
                                   ee Cummings


i carry this land within me
heart beating to grouse drumming
lungs deep breathing cold north wind
throat quenched by upwelling spring 
stomach full with harvest  bounty
back warmed by cedar fire
eyes alight  to night sky wonder 
spirit filled with thoughts of you
