Mountain range view from St James,🇹🇹

Who dares crop the mountain,

Not me maybe you not i,

Bulky bulge enormous insane,

Clouds can sit in passing by,

Giants jealous of passing rain,

Shelter with umbrellas and sigh,

If you raise your mind to gain,

Out of respect to the higher guy,

Buzzards pass watch you strange,

Crazies! on the mountain range.

Hoping they will bring about change

1415

When the morning opens and

The moon shies herself in fadng moods

When the sky takes back her box of crayons

And roostings wings flutter

Then beaks wide open sing songs of rebirth

That is when

Earthworms wiggle beneath the surface

For they have no need of azure skies

Theirs is the gift of dirt and how to shovell it well

But the winged ones

Those are the event bringers i celebrate with

Birdsongs are prayers to the newness

The thanksgiving chants for

Waking to another day

A terribly hot day. Even so we still deceided on a hike. Back packs secured, our sneakered feet started walking, up the hills so dry, so dense the underbrush, that where I pushed my way the giant hush was changed to soft explosion of hurrah we can do this.

And so we walked on through scrub and trees we could not name, until the forest darkness changed to light of sky. This is certainly the most successful hike ever
