This Wilderness This wilderness that stretches far To the north, from where we are, Is only lightly touched by man, For when the westward move began, There were no roads, which slowed the pace Of people in eternal race To find a spot to settle down And build a village or a town. ~ The loggers and the miners went Into the hills and forests, bent, On finding riches of their kind, But very soon, they left behind Their dreams of wealth to seek a way To make life better every day, Without the constant need to be Close to friends and family. ~ Life then was hard, there is no doubt. On foot or horseback, they went out Into the wilds, far from their own And had to make their way alone. Today, there are some settled spots, But they are little more than dots Upon the vast, untamed domain That to these very times, remain! Betty Lou Hebert |

yes, can understand the feeling in the poem...in my mind it is a quest for freedom...internal freedom from external chaos! loved my time, some years ago, in the flathead valley, the "bob" and south eastern british columbia. brings back memories of detoted. |

Dear Joyce: Having recently made a small excursion into pretty wild country, it makes me wonder how long it is doing to remain untouched. So many inroads into it already. Thanks for reading. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
