The darkness excepts the awakening of a new day over the eastern rim of the valley floor.The dark firmament is slowly overtaken by the suns most outer influential limits that announce its arrival as it has since the dawning of time.
The distant highlands sculpted by nature’s wind and ancient ice accept this sun’smorning’s gift of bright glistening golden crowns along the their uppermost edges, as the lower masses blanket themselves in shades of soft blue mist.
Sheared cliffs stand guard as sentries protecting all that lives on the valley floor.
A meadow bounded by an emerald green forest that has given perch to the midnight stars for a thousand of years awaits the first ray of warmth upon its branches where a mountain jay trumpets with joy.
Given this moment of tranquility, my soul returns to its resting place concealed by time, laid to rest by my brothers of the Miwoks of the Yosemite; my valley for evermore.
A book of nature inspired poems and essays, written from the heart and soul of a life-long nature, animal, and wilderness lover, and dedicated to today’s children - Earth's only hope for a better tomorrow.
