Packing the car to find religion
the idea to leave town by mutual decision.
Load the fam and my senorita
check maps and head for Talimena
On the interstate rockin and groovin
music helps keep the miles movin
Headlights on as night is near
Shadows get thicker watch out for deer
Two green specs at the roadside, now six
a brown flash jumps by on sticks.
Always the does first , not the buck.
Hitting wildlife makes a weekend ****
Get to the motel very late
tomorrow's day with nature must wait.
A new day now we find Route One.
Talimena Drive a road built for fun.
The fall colors are vivid, the air is cool
It is timeless..today I'm nobody's tool.
Red,gold,crimson,yellow,orange,green
a world painted with so many colors seen.
A day blessed to spend in God's wonder.
to see Talimena before winter slumber

Giants herd in metal skins.
We sit within in a multitude of colors and forms.
Is this our conscious of being?
Grazing on hard gray ground,
on our daily trek to be swallowed by cold buildings.
Have we become more robot than animal?
Hunting for green paper, barter for our harvest .
Where is the fragrant brown earth tilled?
I would lie in it and dream.

Walking in the forest an ocean of green,
Sunlight slips down through shallower depths.
Currents made of wind move this sea.
Winged schools swim and hide from those bigger.
Such noisy fish nest here.
Death returns creatures and plants to the floor.
Crude compost becomes the energy of nature's milk,
in both ocean's blue and green.
