Red Garnet Shines


















Take me into the mountains
where air is crisp and fresh
where ancestral spirits roam
these sacred lands their home

Let me embark on a journey
where living forests breathes
where mother earth's voice rises
nature revealing hidden surprises

Take me into the  mountains
where gentle deer hearts sprint
where white owl's wisdom is shown
walking paths into dreams unknown

Let me listen with unobstructed ears
where trees whisper, drums beat
where chanting songs are heard
singing verses, repeating words

Take me into the mountains
where mystical powers can heal
where haunting fears are released
dancing blue flames, worries cease

Let me discover true inner peace
where my  heart expresses love
where my inner spirit takes flight
seeing life third eye, full of light

Take me into the mountains
where glistening red garnet shines
where stories & dreams are shared
feeling whole,  my soul is repaired

Let me be entranced by silent beauty
where purifying waters quench thirst
where ancient ones  blessed the land
reborn in skin & flesh I proudly stand

Take me into the mountains....

      The mountains reach out and touch with such power as
      nature comes to life and speaks in a soft tongue.

  17. This felt to me like the chant of a Native American with the deep love of nature, the references to animal totems. This is one of my favorites of yours so far.

  18. lived for a few years in Prescott Valley, AZ. I was surrounded by several mountain ranges, the closest and my favorite being the Granite Dells, a majestic mountain range that always called to me..I could feel the spirits of yore and the serenity whenever I drove through those mountains. Your poem put me in that mood. Very nice

      never been to AZ but, I really need to take a trip out there as many
      have told me about the beauty of the landscape.
