Her voice does not come
as often now,
   as it did back then.
What once was heard
loud and clear
is now heard as
distant whispers
on the wind.

         She will not be silenced.

The images have faded to dim,
no longer are they sharp
in my minds eye view.
Her curves and colors
have all changed
with the progression
of time,
and I wonder,
perchance
would she still know me?

           She is, unforgettable.

The way she wore her tranquility
made me feel safe, secure
   and comfortable
    like a blanket of warmth
       on a cold winters night.

I marveled at her beauty
  was in awe of her power,
              and grateful
that she would welcome me home
faithfully, every day.

           I drifted with time,
                  and in time, moved on.

Sometimes,
when the sun warms the day
and falls upon this pale of skin
I can feel her spirit fill me

                  I hear her in the breeze....

the mountain is calling me home.

she will always know you
because you are both
one and the same
with out a line of separation
lovely visions here
