Going Home To The Driftless

Unpublished

Where the Bobcat & Otter
The Deer & the Black Bear
The Rabbits and Turtles
Are free to roam
Where the Beavers are sliding
Into the waters
Of spring fed streams
In this place I call home

Going home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
To the place I call home

Night Hawks, Goldfinches
Pileated Woodpeckers
The cooing sounds
Of the Morning Dove
Outside my window
The colors of autumn
Painting a portrait
Of the land that I love

Going home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
To the place I call home

A Hoot Owl is calling
A Coyote howling
Down in the wetlands
A north wind blows
Moonlight on the water
No need to go farther
Then right where I am
In this place I call home

Going home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
Home to the driftless
To the place I call home
