Castle Crags, Dunsmuir, CA
Remembrance
I remember air so pristinely clear,
The mountains around the valley seeming near,
And the light of creation causing the rocks to glow;
It is my intent my descendants see it so.
I remember water rushing so clean and pure,
The slightest swallow all weariness seeming to cure,
And the flavor of creation spreading throughout the flow;
It is my intent my descendants taste it so.
I remember soil soft, and moist, and dark,
Growing foliage for forest, field, and park,
And the sound of creation murmuring as breezes blow;
It is my intent my descendants hear it so.
I remember breathing in the gentle scent
Of flora freshly washed beneath the forest tent,
And the odor of creation gladness of spirit seeking to bestow;
It is my intent my descendants experience it so.
May we and our descendants
Walk in beauty all of our lives.
