Perched high above on rocky crags
Cliffs weathered by times handprints
I saw far and wide to distant shores

Everybody had gone home, but I didn’t have a car.

This tanned wee white child of Welsh-English
With a bit of American Indian flowing 
like a creek running through the meadow;
p-h-y-s-i-o-l-o-g-y spelled out loud

His mother was a fertile land, who welcomed everyone

with his realized acceptance of a finite life
