Give Me Blackett’s Ridge
Give me Blackett’s Ridge, give me its majesty;
Give me a crisp desert morning , with a gentle breeze;
Give me naturalists, eager to share Nature’s splendor;
Give me a hiking trail, with a steep switchback climb;
Give me a ridge separating canyons, with a siren’s song;
Give me the secret to the song everyone would like to sing;
Give me birds singing background vocals, with a sound of their own;
Give me a haze-covered sun to break the chill;
Give me adrenaline strains to always follow her song;
“Give me Nature – give me again, O Nature, your primal sanities!”
