Mountain Music Poem by rosalinda flores martinez

Mighty forest speaks of peace

Footsteps hopping slow

You and I with heavens tease

Resting our breath goes


Trying to reach the center

Around tough twigs foreign of touch

Needing smiles to enter

The Love Valley patch


Birds fly leaf to leaf

Bushes gliding freely

Sun watching not a thief

Cares come gleef’lly



Keeping the wind kiss

I breathe your breath

I play your dreams

I touch your thoughts





Tongue taste the dragon fruit

A sip of Vietnam tea

After the lazy afternoon broth

Guitars laying me


The merry-go-round of our games

Palms holding plea

In the peaceful forest names

Guiding eyes for me



Your faces clutch of my hope

When mud flows down the mountain

When soil buries my flesh to earth

And rain spouts a fountain


Don’t kiss me goodbye

I’ve always sought from you

Hug me in your embracing sighs

Kneeling to GOD so true.
