Song Of The Serenades

by jim vecchio

When the wind rips through alpine lakes
and sprints along the granite domes
and whisps by hidden waterfalls
only God can see
eerie tunes are sung
in the Serenade Mountains

By the western slopes
beyond the San Joaquin
I once courted a gal
so fair and tender
as the wind sang its songs
and skipped and danced
along the Serenade Mountains

Crimson lips, so rare
As a cactus rose
precious as a mountain lake
and refreshing as sweet red berries
gently touched mine
like the delicate mist
of a demure spring shower
and prayed their secret psalm
to the Serenade Mountains

Sequoias stand so near

where we once loved

wilderness has hidden the spot

water slithers on downward path

like weary tears

‘twas yonder

so yonder

as eerie tunes are sung

in the Serenade Mountains
