SarCareBear Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 .. was when I went camping this summer. Seclusion in our forest, ‘twas a puzzle pieced world The sea and the sky, two entities Barely separated as darkness unfurled. And the stars shone from above and below Immense and winking through the heavens upon The lake of melted snow. It was summer then, though When the night air was still warm And the cool wood thoughtfully silent, Still damp from the morning’s storm. All the trees were but shadows Cast in the glow of a receding fire, And the mountains before us; silhouettes A wall of rocky vignettes that let us keep our distance From a reality that left much to desire. The air was barely a whisper, accross our goose-fleshed skin And the velvet water on that musky night, its touch beckoned us in. Enfolding, like a blanket, in gentle laps that blessed the shore Tilted my head back and my eyes were mirrors Reflecting light unseen before. For the vastness that enveloped, for the water that soothed For the sky pressed into earth, although the mountains never moved. There was only one place in the world that night, One place to be alive And when I took the deepest breath, I knew I’d just arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
