I don't really write poems and this was a first for me. It's about a climb in Tuolumne that I am absolutely in love with and the area too. What a beautiful and cosmic place Tuolumne can be!
Electric Africa
Electric Africa, I love you so
Crimps and knobs barely enough for the tip of my toe
I learned to put in the time
To toil and toil until I could climb.
I learned to cherish our magical space
To bring that Jeffrey Pine close to my face
Electric Africa, I love you so
I learned the art of dance
Finess and balance at every chance
You taught me to love the process of life
Slow and steady 'cause there's no need for strife
Electric Africa, I love you so
Tucked behind Pywiak Dome
Is the sacred place I call home
