My Mountain Home

My Mountain Home

By: Aiden Kirchner

I see shadows dancing on the pavement
could they be shadows of the ghosts
who are still attached to this building
that haven't moved on?
Off in the distance
the sound of a train horn can be heard
I see the squirrels come running up
to eat the peanuts i left for them
The birds fly up and land on the branches
waiting for the squirrels to leave
so they can eat their birdseed and sunflower seeds i put out for them
I stand in the sun and puff my cigarette
The sun is warm against my skin
And than the wind blows sending a cold chill down my spine
I stand outside up on the mountain top at my mountain home
I stand outside enjoying nature
my mountain home
i love my mountain home
