familiarity can be a callous
familiarity can be a callous,
I need time away from places I love
so that I can return and feel the place as new,
time and time again,
people who know me some
guess I will retire to the Smokies,
and that might be true,
I doubt it, though,
for I feel I never want
to take those mountains for granted,
their music could become but a pleasant background,
I do like to know the tune
but not to hear it enough
to grow tired of it.
