letter to monterey
the first time i saw you
so bright and clear
so present
i fell in love
knowing this was where i was meant to be
that i'd come home at last
a wave so overwhelming
that though we'd just met
tears fell at the thought of leaving you
and the deeper i went
the more i discovered
the more i never wanted to say goodbye
it was impossible
i had promises to keep
obligations elsewhere
that day came too soon
and when i turned for a last look
i promised myself to you
some day
i knew you would be waiting
that day never came
though you are waiting
still bright and clear
still present
still home
i am trapped a continent away
glued in this place of yearning

A view of the iconic Lone Cypress from the scenic 17-Mile Drive on the coast of Pebble Beach, California on a misty summer night. It is considered one of the most photographed trees in North America. Reimagined and painted from a photograph by Hayley Coppola.
