One More Time, Before I Die Poem by Juan Olivarez

One More Time, Before I Die

Rating: 5.0


One more time before I die,
I'd like to walk with you.
To gaze up at your clear blue sky,
Like something fresh and new.

One more time before I die,
To behold your snow capped peaks.
To see the ravens as they fly,
With sidewinders in their beaks.

One more time before I die,
I'd walk your burning sands.
To hear the wind and to reply,
Oh that would be so grand.

One more time before I die,
I'd spend a night with you.
To hear coyotes when they cry,
That's what I'd like to do.

I sure want to go with you.A great flowing song of nature's beauty.Though a lament this was a joyful tribute to read. Just a beaut.
