My Colorado Day

Contributed by Eireannach on Thursday, 12th February 2009 @ 12:11:09 PM in AEST
Topic: NaturePoetry

Burning eyes, campfire smoke
So begins my Colorado day

Musical rocks with each shifting breeze
Smoke follows beauty is lauded with chuckles
Then replaced by coughs or still tired groans
Pine branches snapping amid popping sparks
Where breakfast was never better

Upstream or down, a morning's decision
The canyon is calling, so up I go
Rod, reel, and memories a-plenty
Are my faithful companions
Days of youth with Dad at the falls

Rocks made slick from night rains
Turn once child's play into an old man's work
Amazed, but not surprised at time's hand
Slapping branches and pant tearing rocks
Both familiar enemies mine

A full catch just short of Park's Cabin
I trail to the road and begin my descent
When young I asked Dad, How far to the camp?
He would say, A hop, skip and jump.
How he saw it that way eludes me still

Supper accomplished at cool, damp sundown
Jokes turn to the trek of tomorrow
Should it be North or possibly Sand Creek?
Though spirit of youth abides, we are all older
Maybe Three Logs' are biting again.

Burning eyes, campfire smoke
Thus it ends, my Colorado day

2009 G. O' Raithbheartaigh
