North, Above the River

North, Above the River

North, an evening drive

no sun will blind our eyes

Above the river go

left, up the dirt road

through the prairie grass we wind,

wondering what sights we’ll find,

Moses Mountain in the clouds

past the river’s call, once loud;

Ever higher, through ancient hills

curving back, the sight does thrill:

the mighty river flows below

the autumn grasses in golden glow.

Looking south at the Columbia River on the northernmost part of the Columbia Basin along Lake Rufus Woods over the shrub-steppe ecosystem and its prairie grasses. Moses Mountain is behind us when looking northeast.
