A Place Far Away
A place far away,
I’ve not been, to my dismay,
a future plan that needs headway.
The Western States are home to my father’s favorite place on earth,
the trout in the flowing creek and the bison in the wave-like hills,
the stars at night are shown like our true character when we are out of the light.
I grow weaker and weaker to the powerful urge that draws me to this faraway place,
I see photos that seem like a distant reality,
I feel the love that the people around me reserve, reserve for this place far away.
Elk bugling for a lover
Bears foraging around the corner
Face to face with Tatunka
Smelled over by a chance encounter with a coyote
They say Trout don't live in ugly places
This I can confirm
50 yards off the concrete and masses
You are no longer the alpha male
The food chain has a pecking order
Where is your place?
The air is dry and dusty
The buffalo urine is musty
The Natives presence is all around you
Temporary ground
Stewards
Pass it along how you found it
We own nothing here
It owns you
