This Is This

This ain't something else

Northwest

Mount McKinley stands.
It towers above my plans
to one day go
back to the snow
and follow heart’s demands.

Some day when I’m old,
and everything gets sold,
I’ll buy a place,
enjoy the space
and pan my thoughts for gold.

I’ll hold out with the best
but when I come to rest
it’s up and over,
right at Dover,
head up north and west.

    Does this mean you’re retiring to Alaska or the south of England?
