The Old Guard - a photo on Flickriver

The Old Guard

When I first moved to the mountains decades ago, when I was yet a young boy, this is where I ended up. This little homestead in the magical mountains, far away from the city lights, the overpowering aroma of industry clutching to the shores of the Great Lakes. It’s a long way from automobile manufactures, and busy street corners. The nearest street light to my recollection was some four miles away in a town spanning less than a mile long. From the big city sprawl my mind can barely recall, to the heart of Appalachia. Little did I know my love affair with nature was only a bud, as if growing on the limbs of one of the towering trees that now surrounded my new home. This tree then, was much smaller, a juvenile in its own right, and now it reaches towards the sky at the head of what was once a garden that still holds mythic memories for me, the last of the old guard of memories distant, yet so close to my heart. They say you can never go home, but to close your eyes and relive those long summer days, and chilly winter nights, home is always there for you. I say you can always go home, home will always be waiting.
