there are so many things upon my mind
if someone asked i would say i am fine
in truth i'm a little worried about me
things i've been seeing are less freeing
soon i will again be completely alone
only friends here animals- a phone
i find me afraid with winter to set in
i cannot explain feelings of chagrin
for the past month i lived in a city
surrounded by loved ones and laughs
always the ever present white noise
i could not write so i came home
in my world... it is quiet and peaceful
the forest holds enchantment- and me
the black night sky is filled with stars
scents of nature hold my soul and heart
as a sparrow looked through the window
fluttering, head turning, all to see inside
he also held my dog heidi's rapt attention
she wiggled in sheer delight and fascination
i watched them both as i pondered life
ease of life here verses the city's strife
wherever i roam this mountain's my home
and slowly i then began penning this poem
these beautiful mountains my muse
trees and endless skies, with wildlife
i know i will live out my days here
it saddens me i cannot live among humans
more of them have been added to my life
they are judgemental ignorant creatures
the way some of them think shocks me
common sense flown away like ravens
