"Cranberry Glades"

There's a place in West Virginia

That I call my "Heaven on Earth"
It hasn't changed in millions of years
Back in time, yet, annual new birth

As I walk the mile-long boardwalk

Built over a bog of years gone by
This different world is evident
And answers some reasons why

Is there not a place

Where past peace is close at hand?
In this place there is peace
And beauty made not by man

Envisioning the Garden of Eden

Like I sometimes do
Makes me think of purity
A place of only truth

The ice age came and went

And it left this place behind
Meat-eating plants and sites you'll never see
Make Cranberry Glades one-of-a-kind
