written in memory of steve roffler, a kind man and a fine photographer whose images are described in these lyrics.

intimate vision

wind on an ocean of prairie
a song of the sea
storm clouds and water
and the dancing leaves
a glacier high on a mountain
lying quiet in time
sweet green of the grasses
weaving the earth to the sky

such an intimate vision
such a beautiful dream
rooted, rising, falling free

fern curves in shadows
a path in the snow
light in the valley
on a river far below
stand in the forest and flowers
birds singing under the trees
sun on the branches
in a moment still and deep

such an intimate vision...
more than a dream
rooted, rising, falling free
