There’s a place deep in the mountains covered in Pine, Where all who come are looking for what’s mine. Where these good boys and girls utter all kinds of sounds, Ones I can hear deep below the ground. Where friends, strangers, child, and brother Search for an escape like none other. Where an experience or adventure is something to treasure, Wrapped up safe and cloaked with much pleasure.

Where ombre sunsets rival the brightest of loves, And hatchets to scare even the most innocent doves.
