Mountain Drive
“What goes by”
“Mountain Drive”
Driving by the mountainside,
oh my, what a sight,
such beauty comes to life.
Harken to the forests’ crow,
looking for dessert
amongst fallen snow.
An eagle perched,
many an aerie resting upon hickory,
edging the prairie.
A herd of deer as we pass a quarry,
is there granite, may-haps slate,
or is it mostly aggregate?
Rocks tell stories of time long lost,
wonder what’s inside,
maybe dinosaurs froze back in time.
Another car passes by,
a bike is strapped behind.
Imagine what adventures they may find.
I still remember youthful times,
when I’d be jumping out instead of driving by.
Still, I find ways to get outside,
so many wonderful sights yet unseen,
My, I wouldn’t let one pass me by.
