TU HUYNH _______________________________ THE ROAD CLIMBS HIGH ABOVE THE TIMBERLINE The road climbs high above the timberline, Stretching its way among the wildflowers. In years long passed, it shone as a river Spiraling to the moon - youthful, bright - Its course without end beneath the uncertain night. Now, As I look back often listening to the voices beneath the rocks, Echoes of a dried stream bruised by time, beaten by man, I am again called to you, my love, my home As a glass of wine beckons to an old Steppenwolf. Memory riddled with human misery indeed I've seen, Reflect on paths that could never have been, Yet still I go and climb and rise To meet the eagle beneath the sky.
