    Poem Commentary

    i wrote this as i drove away from my home in bend oregon. as i drove, the mountain i lived on seemed to know i was leaving. the rain, the coudy whispy wind....

    The Mountain Cries

     as i leave the place i have come to know so well,
    the mountain seems to know i am leaving.
    as i drive through the mountain pass,
    the clouds seem to form white, whispy arms.
    as the clouds cluster and the rain falls,
    i realize with a sigh, as the mountain cries.
    it cries for me to stay, in the place i have
    come to know so well, and i answer with my own
    tears. "you shall never be forgotten."
