"Taking
it Higher"
Awakening today in wonder
as first light illuminates my world.
White clouds and red mountains
flooding all my senses.
Awakening today in beauty,
as Columbine bloom lustily,
and hummers sip greedily of
their sweet nectar.
Awakening today in amusement.
as the beaver floats down the river bend.
Rolling over and diving beneath, he
re-emerges chewing the water sprouts.
Awakening today in caution,
as the Ptarmigan and her chicks
scamper around my boots on the
craggy high-country trail.
Awakening today in amazement
as the big black bear appears,
too lazy to ford the stream,
she lumbers over the low bridge.
Awakening today in laughter,
as the chubby marmot
lifts one eye curiously while
continuing to luxuriate in the sun.
Awakening today in awe,
as the big buck stands on point
hesitating and pausing
when we meet eye to eye.
Awakening today my spirit,
as we stop and connect together
before I continue my path higher
and he bounces down the river trail.
