Childhood Memories More Than Falling Out of Trees
Once upon a time
In a bygone era circa 1898
In the land of Discovery
Gold was found
By Fred and Harry Struben
Confidence Mine
Unsuccessful and with little seam or yield
Was abandoned eventually closed down
Fast forward to late 1980's
To the 2nd part of this tale
I now regail 1 of childhood memory
Where once Confidence Mine stood
A U.F.O house was to be built
Bringing the Mountain to life again
When the sun set approaching from
Allen's Kneck
Looking up appearing over the horizon
A Flying Saucer would be seen
Set upon a vantage point that brings
the viewer as close to God as any human gets
And the reason why it is where we chose to scatter my Father's ashes
My mind wanders i started so I'll finish
In search of meaning or connection
If i can join the dots or find the connection
Maybe the Mine is a Metaphor for Cancer
The body shutting down
And
The U.F.O the hope that there is something
out there awaiting our arrival
And life is the Mountain we all have
to climb along the way
