Tucson, the Poet's Dream
(c)2012 Bob Atkinson
come back to my birthplace
or, within a hundred miles of it
a lifetime spent in struggle daily
for that dollar which to spend
Tucson carries to your soul
that calm artistic feeling
broad mountains ringing valleys
saguaros standing neatly
art gallery at the airport
or Covington if you need
more than Etherton's offerings
or maidens' Letter reading
showing fine accomplishments
of that deity, yours or mine
a university well respected
scientists in their labs exploring
cultures diverse in order
from south and east and north
some came here from China, or
from Africa's west center coast
Bently's for a slam with those
who woo you with their words
telling tales of the malcontent
or,
Cafe' Passe's crowd if you choose
TSO rings beauty in your ears
plays become Invisible
here in the land of dreams
my dream stands next to you
soft sands of time slip by as
one documents inward moods
