Longingly


Longingly I look at the old tractor.  I listen to the rattled chug of the engine as it spits and gasps for life.  

Longingly I smell the dewy grass on a clear spring morning and at the mere thought of it, imaginary mist tingling my nose.  Longingly I savor the sour bit of dirt and sweat the collect around my kerchief planting the rows.  Longingly I touch the raw cattle hide saddle hung loosely around the barn door—abandoned as if it has no owner.  Longingly I live for those days growing up on the farm when life was much simpler.
