9000 feet
The hills are alive
Yodeling to me
Alpine Slopes help me slide away
Maria sings in mind's eye and heart
8000 feet
Meadows green
with envy of Cathedral
Peak, shining white light
Pine scents fill nostrils and make eyes water
7000 feet
Desert yellow shining floor
Beneath silver ribbon road
Reminding all who see now
Of long ago ocean floor
6000 feet
Descent becomes dive
to bottom of sea,
Dropping like a stone, ears pop,
Braking hard against nature's forces
5000 feet
Ocean bottom in clear view
Desert heat rises to greet
Rushing wind drowns out
Memories of buzz saw and pine sap
4000 feet
Heat intensifies
Stirring memories of tests
Made nearby, not so long ago, scarring
Ocean bottom, desert beauty and civilization
3000 feet
Smell of new asphalt chases away
Last remaining pine freshness
Winds give way to trucks grinding
Nature fades. Saddened by Modernity.
Recite seventeen
Syllables each day to keep
The doctor away
