Mountain Call 10/31/83

I hear the call of mountain lands
Waterfalls to cleanze my tired spirit

Crisp mountian air fills my lungs
The smell of pine and leaves perfums the air

I hear a bird call clear and sweet
Calling to it mate, for romance

Tiny feet scurry for cover as I walk by
A rabbit freezes, thinking I do not see it.

The cool forest canopy creates a living tunnel
That darkens this untouched world

No man has walked here before, I know
The fawn is unafraid as I pet it.

Creatures accept me as a fellow beast
Which is good, and I am rested.
