Upon reading that Noah is from Colorado, I, for some reason, waxed nostalgic about a place I've never seen save for movies, books and news programs. Upon a High Western Land where would Colorado be if not at the end of the river nestled among the aspen drinking in the sun donning cloaks of snow whispering through the trees the quaking call to thee it could not be among the salt flats nor beside the aqua sea for its land has stretched its limbs reaching you and me it rises high above the ivory slopes touching a sky of azure-laden strokes as if dressed in crepe-paper streamers of lavender and cream leaving in me a song quite settled in a dream ©December 15, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
