Heaven To Heaven
by Richard Davis"And where could one find a more glorious place to die?'" John Muir's reply to his wife who was concerned about his safety on his trips alone into the mountains.
Heaven To Heaven
You're right John. If the last sound
one heard was the roar
of a mountain waterfall
or the call of a bald eagle piercing
the silence and solitude of a mountain morning,
if one's final view of this world
was snowfall from a cabin window
or a cluster of stars crowning
a mountain peak or the slowly
dying embers of a campfire,
what better way
to exit one heaven
and enter the next?
