Longing For Blairsville: A Life Outside My Door Poem

 Longing For Blairsville

I wish I could be north of here

In a land where the hills rise

Where the Nottely and the Wolf appear

And Blood Mountain dominates the sky.

Near a trail made famous by those who hike

And a center built to honor Reece

In a park nearby, I surely like

Where happiness appears to never cease.

For now, however, I’ll keep dreaming

Of that place in the hills

Until once again I see the beauty beaming

From that wonderful  town of Blairsville!
