An Original Poem by: Axton N.O. Mitchell
“Mountains”
Take me to the mountains.
let me see the lay of the land,
point me toward the sky at night,
Prop me right up by the fires light.
Give me at least a day or two.
Help me settle back into my skin.
I will come back good as new,
if you just take me out of this city.
Give me a mountain view,
a hike or two.
Okay… more like a few.
A week off work, will work.
No cell service,
a waterfall to sit beneath,
with a cool stream to tap my feet.
