Sam

For once I don't want a steaming cup of coffee
and hear the clomp clomp of my boss' high heels
for once in my life I want to be taken away
to the rivers and mountains on my four wheels
where the birds chirp all day long
and the whole place is carpeted with green
where fresh milk and curd comes from the cows
and no technology can be heard or seen
just the clouds, the river, the mountains, and the sun
and at night beneath the countless stars I shall sleep
in the morning the sun will kiss my face
I will belong to a place where no one but silence speaks
so take me away to the mountains today
for inside these four walls I can no longer stay

Fresh breeze and snowcapped peaks,
sky inked with pale blue.
The water at the lake is crystal clear,
the green grass, cows silently chew.
The little girl at the lowest hill
is seen plucking flowers:
red, blue, yellow and purple
all seem to have some kind of power.
The clouds are moving at a snail's pace,
and all seems so quite and peaceful.
Everything is mesmerizing
that away from it you cannot be pulled.

Piles of snow beneath my boots
chilly winds blowing everywhere
snow keeps mounting on the posts
on the windows and on the roads
shovels outside,
soups inside
hot and rich,
chicken and corn
coming back from all the work
this is what I look for
the warm chestnuts,
the cracking fire
this is my winter warmth
