Those Hills

If you look at that picture Far beyond the furthest points You will notice the hills Sitting in pairs, so still There are footsteps all over the hills Where both young and old find refuge Where buried treasures have seen the sun Where some dreams come true, and some dreams come falling Down the hills Up and down, like the hills Watch the hills.. The tongue that chooses silence Straying away from the friction rub of the steel wire The mind that is a recorder, sometimes a record player The eyes that are membranes of light Captured in and reflected out Listen to the hills There is a hummingbird that sits atop Especially in the darkest mornings And sings that song of hope And when the night falls, the real night There is..the hills Up and down Life
