SOFT LANDING

Following The Contours Of The Local Landscape

Admiring The Patchwork Surface Of The Rolling Hillside

Wanting To Experience It All In One Swell Swoop

Taking The Peripheral Vision As Far As It Will Stretch

Looks Much Like A Magic Carpet Or A Giant Fabric Slide

Take Me To The Mountain Top And Topple Me Down The Side

I'll Be Like "Humpty Dumpty" And Crash On The Other Side

Or Better Wait Until Winter And Sled The Bright White Snow

That Covers The Patchwork Landscape As The Summer's Light Does Show
