Where Green Forests Wrap Desirous Land

Where Green Forests Wrap Desirous Land Across the midnight divide in a shroud, this soul sails upon glistening gold wings. There with vanity and what pride allowed, my seeking heart wanders along and sings. Beneath snow covered summit my joy shouts where green forests wrap the desirous land. To find me, hire the greatest Native scouts for I move on with the animal band. Near to the sweetest flowing river's banks each morn I rise to give eternal praise. Give this, my Native American thanks, escaped I, from dark cities wretched haze! Deep in that huge divide my spirit dwells, no longer enduring man's living hells. 3-13-2016

Very nice, Robert-- I enjoyed the 'free' aspect of this read. It read like a breath of nature's fresh air in sonnet form...very nicely penned. Congrats on your placement!
