Alaskan Dreams Poem by Monica Engeler

I have seen the mountains in so many ways,
And have traveled to lands looking majestic.
I’ve been searching for places to pass the days
To live wild and free is the ultimate aim.

My spirit calls for the wilderness to challenge me
In a way no one else can in any city life.
I see myself guided somewhere to the sea
To dream of a place that will be my home.

I guess I am looking for something that is knew,
Where tomorrows ideas are open and call for me.
Sadly there is nothing left here that remains true.
I pray, my strength of mind will guide me somewhere.

The morning sun shone westward to a land far away.
It beckoned me to go to a new place of my own.
Traveling and lost on an unknown roadway,
A force showed me a light that directed me onward.

Alaska wild and free, speaks to me in silent fantasy.
The evening sun glowed along the mountains
Lighting a path of splendor and ecstasy
I tasted the warmth of a fire burning in winter snows.

You see endless rivers run wild in Alaskan country,
With salmon sprouting for bears to catch,
The days are darkened by a times duty,
I followed my vision to this land wild and free.

I see new sunlight now shining through the trees.
My Alaskan dreams are now awakening,
With great adventures and stories waiting for me
You see, I have found my place to pass the time.

Tomorrow I will be reborn, and forget the past.
I will see the lands beauty for miles and rejoice,
You see my life is full of new wonders growing fast,
And my Alaskan stories wait to be written down.
