I run across souvenirs of the mind
here and there, from time to time,
I think how we enter the world not knowing our name

Natures glory keeps us moving and guessing,
looking and finding, like a grand treasure hunt.

slips away,
the moon and stars

In old Montana
Cowboys wear big hats and bright bandanas,
horses smoothly canter
as cattle quietly banter,
...
visions of flames
showing people without names
faces in the night
quietly asking for light

I miss what once I thought I knew
sun of yellow, sky of blue,
sweet summer breeze
and swinging through tall trees.
