Wilderness


Wilderness

There are times when
I must head for some wilderness--
Desert, mountain, ocean shore.
The Man made disappoints...
Except for the scientists
Who teach us of
Our heaven here.
I'll take the mountain's wildflower,
The lonely gull above the ocean wave,
A swirl of sand atop the desert dune;
These things are heaven here,
And I must leave them all too soon.
