Ode to My Beloved Pogonip

My beloved Pogonip,
my heart calls out to you

My heart calls out to your majestic trees
and your beautiful meadow,
now green with Spring's emerald blush

My heart longs for the intimacy with my Lord
that I experience there,
amidst His breathtaking creation

My heart recalls many long walks
upon your familiar trails
with friends now gone from me

My heart desires to sit quietly and listen
for the sounds of your inhabitants
calling out to one another

My beloved Pogonip,
my heart yearns to wander your trails
and frolic in your meadow

My beloved Pogonip,
my heart calls out to you
in all your beauty and peace,
my heart calls out to you
