let's go this way

let's go this way

the slow way

the way where cars stop to admire

nature, an elk, a wildflower, 

the view.

oh, the view this way is so much

better when we get out of our 

metal box and breathe in the 

mountain air,

where time stops and clouds

hover above us, spitting cold rain

to wake us up to this world,

this most precious world.

let's go this way,

let's miss the traffic on the

highway, let's wind up in the

mountains, let's be thankful we

came this way,

not that way.
