Yearn to sit

     upon steep cliff

     and gaze upon

     hometown at dawn

As moon dips

     dark shadows slip

     and rays of light

     they chase dark night

Watch town bloom

     as people zoom

     in frantic pace

     of morning race

Long to sit

     upon steep cliff

     as day begins

     without town's din

Feel soft breeze

     slip through pine trees

     and tickle nose

     with pungent flow

Dewdrops drip

     from green leaf tip

     and far away

     a hound dog bays

Oh, to sit

     upon steep cliff

     let hometown view

     stir thoughtful stew

Outdoor show

     rouse words to flow

     with nature's sounds

     ideas will bound

Oh, to sit

     upon steep cliff

     let pen and paper

     write down mind's caper
