The Rockies

    ~ Gayle Parker (copyright 2001)

How I envy your soul taking in the rich clear sunshine upon your days

I yearn to share in the glory of the mountainside

when alone becomes the goddess in all things

I see the stars at night falling gently upon my nose

oh yes they are that close

I am electrified by their motion

I fall upon my back to worship their magnificence I am as high as they

perhaps I am just high from the life here

My work is now play as I bask in the almightyness of this countryside

so colorful it explodes into eternity

sharing its positive plight with all who care to stop and see

I am the eternal goddess of the high

to drink in my pleasure you must be invited to stay

I can only join those who appreciate

There is a wonder about me that the chosen can see

It is the cause and effect of all nature

I am in tune to the very depths of this world and beyond Negativity

is no more in my arena of sharing with all

Love is eternal manifest and all deserve

if they can spare the time to look me in the eye

I am the star that winks at your inner beauty

I hold your beauty in the palm of my hand

I breathe for you the alpine air as we retreat from the race

and slow our mind which unites in pure resplendence

The dream of the colors emerging comes true

and the reality nears in this above-the-world-playground for you and me
