In Nature

Behold the russet evening sky
Below, the jagged black of land
I sit among this, way up high
And run my fingers through the sand
Of time and place and countless ages
Of men born free to men in cages
Of fire and ice and meteor showers
To hills and valleys and cities and flowers
I sit on this hilltop, still and mute
Behold the quiet hush of night
I watch the owl, confident and astute
And hear music as he leaps to flight
Yet still I know this peace will fade
And time will draw me from the glade
To cities and people and Escalades
And that role called life that we have to play
For now, though, I think I’ll linger here
My cage for now empty, cold and dark
And when at last I must disappear
I’ll carry with me nature’s glorious mark
