Mountain Heart Rustic hues of green, yellow, and brown...miles from any town This Colorado mountain is so dark, deep, and lovely The tall and graceful pine trees watch over all that grace their shadows The only sounds to my ears are those of the wind, which rustles through the trees, and the continuous flow of water over the rocks in younder stream My heart lives and dwells freely in these hills where seldom is heard the voice of any other... The silvery moon shine and dark blue evening sky paints a beautiful landscape on this cold wintry eve...alas, if only a painter were here to capture this moment If only you were here to share the mountains magic with me...maybe sip a glass of red wine while held tightly in one another's arms In this special place...I miss only you. For without you...my near perfect world on this glorious mountain ... is empty...and my heart heavy and downtrodden When feeling alone in my isolated heaven, my mind journeys to long lost destinations of many yesterdays...people, places, and special memories... The fire hisses and crackles and breaks my trance and solitary moment ...the dancing flames cast a pale golden glow to my serene cabin surroundings and warm my body and soul Even though separated by time, distance, and place...you are always with me...... I wonder ... does you heart yearn for me as mine does for you? I hope, pray, and wish, that one day your heart will lead you to the meandering rocky path, which leads to my door... So close your eyes and listen in the still of the night ...when all is quite and peaceful... and you'll hear my beck and call ... an urgent plea... my subtle cry...for you to come to this special mountain For together ...we'll share her magic...and only then will ...my "mountain heart" be contented. So come my love...I am waiting! Richard E. Murphy |
