One of my favorite new additions to Jackson Hole this summer has been a little wooden box set up in Gas Light Ally entitled: "The Poetry Box." The Poetry Box is supplied with locally penned poems on a weekly basis, free to whomever happens to wander by. Be inspired, be published, submit your own poem for consideration at JHPoetryBox@gmail.com.
Week of 9/25/11 Poem:
We are a mountain people,
Great lovers of land and time.
Of seldom trod peaks and valleys,
Of swift rivers under stone,
Of snow slowly freezing to ice.
We are a great tribe of many peoples,
Great lovers of trees and wind,
Of bear and marten, eagle and pika.
We mark out lives by the time of the mountain,
We live and die,
cherish and sorrow,
rise and fall
we become our truest selves,
all on the mountains' time.
Oh! To be in the moment, to feel the now of hard stone and to breathe the
bluest sky—
That is why, we are mountain people,
Living our lives by the mountains' time.
—Tenley Thompson Bowen
