Riding into the sunset, May seem romantic to some- I fear that it loses it’s glamor, When it’s all that a man’s ever done. The call of the wild is a fever, Which quickly develops a thirst, To walk on the pathway less traveled, To get to some lonely spot first. To gaze on the beauty and grandeur, Of a high mountain meadow in spring- To follow the salmon when spawning, To go where the waterfalls sing. To lie of a night in the desert, The Milky Way seems “touching” close- Smelling the sage and the huisatche, Is when I want someone the most. A soft hand to reach out and touch me- When the wolves sing their praise to the sky- Soft lips to gentle my slumber, Her body there close at my side. Sunrise, and sunset, and moonfall- I face them each day on my own- And look down the backtrail of mem’ry- And wonder where my life has gone. |
