A Journey of the Mind

START A Journey of the Mind I'm a little closer to heaven up here in the hills Far away from the big smoke and all the city frills Winding up the Alpine Way, whether day of night Is such a blissful thing to do, as if a bird in flight This one of seven summits was a monumental find To be content to live here is a journey of the mind START A Journey of the Mind Some folk make this journey early in their life They have no need for clutter and endless years of strife Wisdom, peace and contentment are worth living for Instead of the current trend to long for more and more This one of seven summits was a monumental find To be content to live here is a journey of the mind The trees and rocks are spirits of passed Aborigines Who lived and roamed in the mountains, and danced Corroborees Kosciuszko's face has softened over the centuries While twisted tortured snow gums dread the next years freeze This one of seven summits was a monumental find To be content to live here is a journey of the mind. oOo END
