I finally got around to finishing the video for this overnighter in Sequoia National Park back in August haha. It took me a while to figure out which direction to go with it. In the end, I chose to turn up the dramatic meter quite a bit :) so enjoy!
The dust from harvest I leave behind
And smoke from all surrounding hill
For lofty meadows to clear the mind
And building storms to slightly chill
My journey begins in a woolly wood
Through forests deep in shadow dark
Where stream side clearings long I stood
In glory of each vibrant park
Oh how the mountain air so clean
Is needed now within my chest
And resting here on steep serene
Under this ruck my heaving breast
I make my humble traveler's home
Tucked away with hearth and fire
Where deer are likely apt to roam
With stars to ease and help retire
For in the morn with water clear
I'll look to gain the lands beyond
And make them ever oh so near
Like reflecting back upon a pond
As rock faces rise and water falls
And the path winds round its way
To sights of grand Valhalla's halls
Forever long I'm here to stay
Fair meadow stretching to the sky
To thunder clouds and tufted hair
With granite dust sparkle the eye
And flowers enough to hold one there
Bewilderment the entrancing tune
Of mountain and sky and field and tree
Tranquil as the boulders strewn
At rest at last below the scree
Rains fall as scattered notes
Cooling the face flushed and red
Quenching the lilies among the oats
Who's beauty quiets like words unsaid
