She Came From The Mountaintops

She came from mountain tops

Only breathing in the summer

A soldier who fought the rain for you

A runner who delivered the messages

Of the Gods to you. But you, 

You've forgotten the rubbish of

Your former lives. The thin air and all 

The breaths you never shared with her leaving her to gasp for air

As she called your name down canyons

Each syllable rumbling to the ears of falcons

The pain filled unfufillmemt 

Carving freeways to her soul

wow, to me it is the soul of mother nature...but also the real spirit of America...the patriotism both of which we seem to be losing...at least here where we are dealing with so much derisiveness...i feel this poem speak to me...and i feel that pain of unfufillment...deeply.

wonderfully metaphorical...

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kind words. To be honest, this poem is a bit of a mystery even to me,, they sometimes seem to have a life of their own,

LIke I said, thanks again and I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
