WILD FLOWERS

A rocky road ascends on high
   to a mystical place
      in the sky.

The entrance may be covered with snow
   giving access to few,
      and those who know.

The winding road has treacherous places
   cliff side turns, and shadows that
      look like faces.

The road is not laden with many tracks
   it’s smooth, yet rough with
      crevasses and cracks.

At the Y of the road, one starts to know
   this mystical place
      will have no snow.

Wild flowers in bloom fed by the sun
   a place to leave troubles;
      a place to have fun.

Light headed, light hearted, rolling in flowers
   a trip to the paradise
      can last for hours.

The heart can’t contain nor words convey
   it’s food for the soul
      in every way.

As darkness covers the magic of this place
   it fades away
      without a trace.

It lays in waiting; but, out of sight
   its beauty rests
      through the night.

Oh! but ‘er waken by the sun
   this place is mystical;
      this place is fun.
