You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Country...

No matter how long I live in the city,

Every so often I have to return

to where the lights do not block the stars from sight,

and birds are heard more often than sirens.

To where I can taste the salt on the sea air,

and smell something other than fumes.

No matter how long I live in the city,

sometimes I just need to return to a place that always feels like home.
