North Alaska

Valdez boats murmuring waves uphold
liberty falls run betwixt mountains cold
glacier bay form snowy hills by day
fogginess place on mesa mounts and lay
silent it stays for days like prayer take place
abruptly change their ways an be at race
whence found in th' midst of change 
whirlwind cage ; decisions range
lost in th' wilderness dying to find
a shield a shelter or someone kind
alas thy soul to find one call
to bear no more an blind fall
what do you think ! which way
whence path is as clear as crystal
whence sorrow is as bold as metal
why then pick the way the path 
whence earlier was in wrath 
i say anew thou track like bears do
an search for peace within you
