' American Skies '

Have you ever seen so many wonders ?

Snowy Mount McKinley under the Alaska skies

Mount Saint Elias, majestic Rocky Mountains

Wildcat Mountain of White County in Georgia

and all those grandiose skies above them

from British Columbia to New Mexico, so different

and as far as the Oregon and Idaho skies

Utah and Arizona skies as well, rainbow alike

mirroring nature as if the world were Amazonia only

a wishful thinking but yes, just stand for nature !!

We're camping for a while in Grand Canyon

at the side of the Colorado River in Arizona

Nights are splashed with shimmering stars

days showing skies playing a heavenly music

to the tunes of Chopin's polonaises and waltzes

Skies differ from the very blue to rainbow alike

constantly on the move, slower or faster, rhythmic

Numerous hawks adding to this their own music

and of course we ourselves, in our spasms of love

which fly up the sky like those hawks are doing

We're leaving yet for another long ride

through vast spaces of American land

as always under the magic and magnetic skies

with all their splendid repertoire of music

from Chopin to Beethoven's Appassionata

from a country music to a modern pop & rock

Days are a ride, nights are passionate love

Join us whoever you are and as a reward

you shall join the stars on the nightly sky

as yet another star, perhaps the brightest one

Traveling all the way from fabulous California

to magic New Jersey perhaps, we don't care

bathing lovingly in the Sun on the way

with our car speeding on the speedway

under American skies tributing Stars and Stripes

from Idaho via Nebraska to the Florida's skies

Sleeping yet under the great Oklahoma skies

and the Mississippi skies, catching stars

staying overnight under so many other skies

Finally arriving in Miami, basked in the Sun
