‘bAcK tO tHoSe moUnTaInS I sO bElOnG’


Coffee house M.T.                                                                        2:13 pm 8th April/12

The roads on these endless journeys
 Now it goes all up hill
To the blue of the sky
And to the Orange of my cat
 Awaiting on the sill

To the barren land of peace and silence
The land of my childhood dreams
The land of Abiley Memeley Nonoley Chocholey
 Of lakes; of crystal streams

 Twisting and turning this road
 For a long time we both had been there
Like a serpent from a story book
It leads me everywhere

Leading me to my street and alley
 To the prayer flags on my front door
To reach the valley of the rising sun
To feel it; to breadth it; just once more

The white of those apricot flowers
In late mountain Spring
The sparrows chirping throughout the mornings,
Who knows what all they sing

And the flavors from my mother’s kitchen
 Traveling to my bed
 Is how I remember those special mornings
 Of being home as I think I already said

This long awaited homecoming
Makes me feel so strong
As the roads of these endless journeys
Take me back home

To the place where I shall wait for you
 To the mountains I so belong
