The Place I Live

The Place I Live - Mount Eerie

If I look

Or if I don't look

Clouds are always passing over

The place I live

The place I live

Passing under

My feet while my mind wanders

In a sea of fog

On a ridge

Seeing through a hole in the fog

A thought out of nowhere

I say to myself

I say to myself like a voice on the wind

Behold

Behold

But I see nothing

Rocks and water and wood

Not speaking to me

Left alone to wander above

Wander above

Slow and uneasy and alive

Uneasy and alive

I mean the place lives

And clouds pass over

Sitting on a ridge and watching clouds pass over

The landscape

A blanket on stone

Where an ocean of glaciers rolled

Land waves are rolling

Through a fog this is a brief life

Momentarily

I come out from under
