hard as tack

I sought you out
far away star
please don’t forget
to forgive my heart
from a moonless truth
tho we are not
side by side
you amaze me
lover of liberty
humor dark
strangely
I cling to you
my Geogia peach
seeing you soon
seems out of reach
you’re my sweetheart
friendship for keeps
the water is icy cold
this woman even as a rock
as hard as tack
as resonating as rain
as down to earth as grain.
