Going to Colorado

This is a piece I wrote for the Led Zeppelin Lovers Group while listening to the song, "Going to California.

Going to Colorado

 

Mixing emotions and searching a heart

Leave yesterday and tomorrow to start

Feeling and everything begins with me

Lost light now found; I set me free

 

Wandered the land, spent it all two times

Fortunes ignored I lived my life in rhymes

I set me out on the open road as hope does roam

Mountains to the west the land called me home

 

Peace there somewhere I vow now to find

Campaign for unity while I seek like kind

Feeling and everything begins with me

Lost light now found; I set me free

 

Shifting my energy close to the speed o light

Taught my heart to see; now it thinks right

Life gently whispers its song now a vibrant glow

Clarity lightly bubbles within awakening a know

 

Understanding dawns in the darkest of places

The past comes around; I with warm embraces

Feeling and everything begins with me

Lost light now found; I set me free

Going to Colorado with no aching... in my heart

Another beautiful poem written about a beauiful place.

Oh to climb those mountains tall
Then mine eyes shall see it all
And when this perfect days is done
I'll gaze upon the setting sun

Colorado, land of beauty as majestic as your words.

[Veronica Chandler]

You are too kind and I wonder if you can hear me blush! Thank you for the inspired verse. The mountains are a terribly fierce, an incredibly frightening place, but if you climb her heights the reward is unspeakably wild beauty. I had to climb up to a height of over 9,000 feet to discover that wild orchids call the mountains home. I could never have imagined such a thing.
Thank You for your generous reviews!

Seems Colorado is where each of us finds it...

[Fairytale]

Lovely imagery. I understand what it is like to move to a new place; all the excitement and yet the loss left behind. I love the phrases in this poem. It's absolutely beautiful. Your pros flow like a stream. The dawn's sun over a mountain describes the experience of moving to a new place perfectly.
