Yellowstone
The majesty of the mountains have captured my heart
While the promise of love keeps me warm in the dark
The sparkling rivers and canyons so deep
Keep my happy and peaceful while I am asleep
The howl of the coyote and squeak of the squirrel
Have opened new doors to a whole different world
Forever lost in the lushness and beauty of nature
Blossoms new appreciation for every living creature
Awakened each day by a glorious sunrise
Its beauty shines through even to jaded eyes
Brilliant starry nights end each and every day
Now the journey’s over and rest I may
Only to rise and feel the coolness of the air
While the wind wraps around me and runs through my hair
The adventure will soon end and home I will go
Bringing with me new questions of all there is to know
Yellowstone Wolves
The Yellowstone wolf’s future seems a bit in peril
What is it about wolves that makes sane men feral
The pups yelp for freedom in their lonely cry
Why must such innocence be fated to die
Can no one see the senselessness of life wasted
Even before truth lets maturity be tasted
The wolf is a great treasure of beauty to us all
Lest we forget how extinction exacts the fall
Must all the wolves die so the ranchers can profit
Is no one offended enough to try and stop it
Greed and fear strike a deep and embittered blow
But those of us with souls are still in the know
We must stand together and stop this mad endeavor
Because my dear friends Extinction lasts Forever
Satan's Queen
When darkness falls she seeks an evil thrill
What can make even children hide and squeal
For she can cast a spell of dark power
That makes even strong men weak and cower
Her reign of terror has struck so deep
One can even sense her as they sleep
She must be stopped this Queen from Hell
Satan himself will wish he could tell
What lurks in the recesses of her mind
That makes her so terrible and unkind
Her screeching voice and all its thunder
Can cast even angels all asunder
Imagine a witch full of darkness and hate
Her eyes gaze only at Satan’s gate
For he is her master now and forever
And she a mere slave for all his endeavors
