My Place
I visit a place of my youth
Once wild and untamed
A place of wild life
Unbroken serenity
A trickling creek
Feeds a life filled pond
Walking in beauty
Cottontail rabbit running to the sage
The air full of sound
The valley quail sings his song
Look into the sky
A redtail hawk on his hunt
A hiding place when life got hard
How hard is a childs life?
All is needed is an open ear
Have you forgotten
Alas 40 years have past
Not tamed but destroyed
The creek now silent
My pond without life
Empty skies with only the wind
To remind us of what once was
-Childhood escape-
