The color purple

The hills of Boulder, Colorado
The plains of Montauk, New York
And Lorain Ohio's fine home of in-laws
A dream of the far-and-away

There are also places where I traveled
And left shortly thereafter
Don’t know when or where
Only see them in my dreams

And there are dogs I grew up with
Walks I took them on
On leashes, straining to get loose
And run free
To freedom and a world without control

Perhaps the dreams will take me to
A place to attach and attend to
Always and forever

One can always hope and dream…
