Nights and days

And crazy adventures

Too good to be true or real

Unless that's the way

Relentless beauty in the woods

Eagles soaring above our heads

 

Reagal Tents around a fire

Even with bears near by

Van or truck we took for

Evenings in the mountains

All night or just the afternoon

Lovely smells and picturesque views

So good but I can't stay for long

 

If only everywhere was as peaceful

Time just doesn't like me, I swear

So late in the time of the world

Everywhere was as beautful once

Left to the hands of man

For destruction was wrought


The author's comments:

Often times, I look at the world around me and wonder what it used to look like. Rarely, do I ever see remnents of the past, and mostly while I'm visiting the mountains. But even the most remote part of the mountains and remaining wilderness is still tainted by the actions of man.
