Hunger

I who go for days without seeing
an open field or a tree-covered hill
(much less a mountain),
and who rarely see a sunset,
and almost never a sunrise, still think of these
each day or night
when I ride home underground on the Metro,
after only a few seconds out-of-doors, from
office building with no window for me,
to the subway entrance.

Daylight; open vistas;
twilight; sunrise;
mountains, woods, flowers, trees -
hunger !

Glenn~

I wish your 'hunger' to be filled
with a sunset in the making
Fields kissed with sunlight
for the taking
Trees to wave at break of day
across hills of beauty to come to lay
Within the vision of your sight
and then ... and then a starry night~

*Thank you for the 'inspired' wishes I send your way~
Happy Holidays, my friend~

Reminds me of the 1500 or so days that I
was on a submarine...underneath the ocean..
wondering if the sun were shining above us..
The squint that beset me upon seeing it
again...only to dash back down into my
haven....

This poem can be related to by many of us..
Nicely done Glenn...
