The Crow (in Eldorado Canyon) A Poem by Dave Heffner published on 2021-01-05T04:22:01Z YouTube: https://youtu.be/ExT372wLyoE. This is a poem set to music. For relief from the "pandemic," I hiked in Eldorado Canyon, Colorado, hoping to see a Bald Eagle. Instead, perched up on a mountain peak was a crow. See the hiking path: https://youtu.be/9XYtnA9uAwo POEM VERSE1 Went to the mountains To break the status quo. For the reasons people go, to grow. The eagles, the elk, the clean air. Myself - to get to know. VERSE2 Climbing up the ridge, From the meadow below, Arriving at the peak, rocky trail plateaus. Stones loomed above me, Fighting rain and snow. Million years of winds that blow. CHORUS1 Why do we go? Why do you ask? To see such beauty that may not last. Just like you, let me be free. Let us have peace. Let me be me. Agree?... See?.. This is key! BRIDGE1 VERSE3 Something moved, casting shadows below. What lives there? What wildlife will show? Expecting an eagle to spread its wings, Then I hear a sound I know. VERSE4 The call of an old black crow. Not dressed for the occasion. Not moved much by persuasion. Wrong equation. Odd sensation. CHORUS2 Crow looked down, At the people on the ground, In a way, as if to say, “Hey” Just like you, let me be free. Let me have peace. Let me be me. Agree?... See?.. This is key! BRIDGE2 VERSE5 Independent bird, Follows his own tempo. Doesn’t take orders well. Like to keep it simple. VERSE6 Clever bird. Often met with abrasion. Perhaps you are a better symbol, Of this nation. VERSE7 If we want to make it for the full duration, We better show more toleration. No tomorrows. Too many sorrows. Time, you just can’t borrow. BRIDGE3 VERSE8 Climbing down the mountain, That day I had to go, To find out who I was, And met the old crow. Old black crow, what do ‘ya know? Helped me today. A favor I owe. CHORUS3 I’ll see you next time. When I climb. When I go, on top of the rocks. You’ll watch me below. I know.
