Spring Peepers

Spring peepers I could hear spring peepers singing in the dark From the water near the dam Night fell upon peach colored skies All around the mountain Reminders of how far I have climbed Through the mountains of life lay before me Just how far there is to carry on Around the corner, there is so much more Reflections flickered across the street My eyes felt the end of a long day Spring peepers called all the way home From trees through the open windows Reaching my ears, calling me to sleep To dream of sights from views captured --- By trying and trying again --- Heidi Sands 5/23/17
