Mountains tower high
To meet the heavens above
Oh, to be a bird
—
Everywhere is lush
Bouquets of roses burst
Fragrant fuchsia blooms
—
Rain on the tin roof
Wind blows in waves, thunder claps
Pounding percussion
—
After the torrent
Peace comes, followed by voices
Of joyful children
—
My long journey here
Is only the beginning
Of a life renewed
