Words Can Do It

I went there again today--that place I love,

with azure skies and amber hues

against the rocks of red and bronze,

with scrub pines guarding mountain trails

that lead to places that I knew

so long ago.

I went there again today--and I took you

to places you have never been, or seen.

I held your hand and guided you

around the rocks so rough and bare,

to vistas you could never know,

or even dream.

I took you there o'er rocks and rills,

and 'mongst the treasured lofty peaks

we lay among the columbines

and gentle paintbrush strokes.

All the while, still in your chair,

with simple words,

I took you there.
