Poem Title:
Poem
“I am a song that needs to be sung.” Words by John Denver inscribed in Aspen. While walking the path alongside the Rio Grande A circle of stones in memory of John Denver does stand. Inscribed on the rocks are the words of his songs. They moved me deeply as I strolled along. Realizing that I was in Aspen because I did spy A tribute to John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High. It sparked a desire to experience Aspen for myself. Now here I am encircled with John Denver’s wealth. I wasn’t a huge fan, but I did enjoy his songs. His words stand tall beyond being written in stone. I moved along the trail into an evergreen forest Dwarfed by the pines as the river flows toward us. Emotional connectivity with Aspen’s sheer mountain beauty. Sitting on a rock in the river my only duty. Feeling inspired to move again on the trail An energy spoke to me; no words were entailed. You are a song that needs to be sung You are a bell that needs to be rung. You are the newness of fresh mountain air You are the energy of spring’s budding stare. You are the eagle resting in its high nest Ready to soar through the sky when the time is best. You are the Rocky Mountain High Colorado is the place for you to sigh. Heave out the energy that is stored within Sing your own song with a loving spin. In gratitude I salute John Denver’s soul. In the beauty of the Rockies, he continues his role. Inspiring people to greater heights through his words. Thank you, John Denver, for my heartfire heard.
