Cloudcroft
My thoughts are aloft
when I think of Cloudcroft. It is a
place I find adoring that sends my spirits soaring. It is where there is a crispness in the air
that in a breeze is there to please and is where my mind likes to spend its
time. So this is where I wish to go
because my heart swells to yell to tell me so!
It is like I was there only moments ago.
Its mountain peaks I
wish to seek as I recall each fall as I entered winter only to sing of spring
and a summer never to be put asunder. It
is a place of pleasant wonders as I think back to old railroad tracks, tall pine
trees that stand guard over a village never to be pillaged and winding trails
that I wandered upon with no concern to return.
It will always make for my unique retreat where I used to stay to play
every day I could get away.
I strain to think of a plane
or a train on which to return to such a beautiful place that greeted me with
such a beautiful face. If you saw her
you would be in awe of her. With but a
touch you will come to know as much as through a shroud of clouds she uncovers
the glow of a rainbow. I stand to hold
her hand whenever I can in what seems to be a dream that is as real as it feels. Such is the kiss I reminisce about a girl who
smelled like Christmas.
She is where there is a
crack in the sky so that you may see the seventh heaven. She whispers in the wind a melody whose words
cannot be heard yet without being near it you can hear it. She possesses an undying spirit. Such a heart is infernal to remain eternal
and when felt you will melt. She is why
I will not stop until I reach the mountaintop and even if it is snowing I will
keep on going in the knowing that she is glowing like a star that can be seen
from afar. She is wherever you are as
she is wherever I am so I go to her like a lamb only to bay only to obey only
to return to her one day.
My thoughts are aloft
when I think of Cloudcroft. I've come to
understand that I never wish to land unless by some chance there is an
avalanche to where I am covered by her snow as to where she will never let me
go. Forever she will be my rainbow and
the peaks that I seek as I yearn to return.
This is what I know because my heart swells to yell to tell me so! It was like I was there only moments ago.
