The night breeze through my window

Casts me back

To that place in the Rockies

Where we stood and took in the majestic beauty

I close my eyes and am transported

To that waterfall that fell with the ferocity

Of the wild creatures that roam this land

In my mind’s eye

My hand slips into the cold waters of Lake Louise

As I canoe through my remembrance of that place

How I long to be cradled in the arms of the Rockies

Mountains towering over and beyond me

Overwhelming yet comforting and compelling

I am standing on the shores of awe

In this

The world beyond my dreams
