         Wilderness Symphony

These ancient mountains
of the mist...attend...
from a farther world,
where I have been a traveler
by clear murmuring streams,
chasing a cold sun through
soft-velvet evergreens,
(in fine cloud dreams)
along lonely paths of infinite
‘Deep-Time’ wonder.
Here, 400 million years
of only Summertime thunder,
shook the bedrock and
  the stars,
before the human cacophony
of turbulence, greed, and
  devastation
first quelled the once boundless
and supreme wilderness symphony.

The "wilderness symphony" still plays to this day
in my memory of old.
Enjoyed, Ms. E

The forest is sacred, Bruce and Mother Earth will always renew. Beautifully written.
