Only Valentine (for Mt. Tamalpais)

His friend does not appreciate
The mockingbird's return
As much as he used to
He feels he is losing touch
With trees and says aloud
The mountain is only good
For hiking the parched gullies 
For crossing he is losing
Sight of any longing
To belong to all this
Mineral manifestation of the gods
He says only the sea can save him
His first and last love
Even if it's only a memory
Seen from a mountain top
