Mountain Song




The morning is cool, calm, lovely -
Deep in the woods, away from all -
The mossy green grows abundantly
In these shaded woods and waterfall.
My soul is soothed by forest sounds
Birdsong, stream gliding over smooth river rock,
sing-song chirps bring life to the calm,
Clear, cold, crisp runs smooth without block
As it freely flows down the mountain
Flowing by the trees, a joyful sound
of spirited waters nourishing the trees, lichen,
greeny mosses, mushrooms, as they grow.

Written in Scaly Mountain, NC at our little log cabin retreat.
