Waking from short overnight nap
Mind navigating through dense fog
Seeing Venus, shining above
Campfire went out, hearing bullfrogs
Experiencing nature’s gifts
From this lofty mountain retreat
Rubbing shoulders with Creator
Simple life, better than Main Street
Viewing twinkling lights down below
Village sound asleep, missing this
Flickering campfire heats coffee
Tranquility Base, full of bliss
Cooking up heartiest breakfast
There’s plenty for both me and you
Inviting Christ to take His seat
Mountain retreat, feeling brand-new
Breathing in nature’s harmony
Alone, never feeling that way
Taking in this heavenly scene
Lord, please allow this hour to stay
Big Sky Buckeye 
Love it! Better than Main Street!
