under the stars that were shining so bright
while we slept in our hammocks, that's where we were
under the trees, no one knew we were there
what an adventure. my words are lost
trying to describe what I loved the most
the colour of the water, turquoise, so bright
the trees so green, shimmery silver light
the red rocky mountains, naked and tall
the blue blue sky, with only eagle's call
oh, Havasupai, you captured my heart
time stood still, how I wanted it to last
and not only nature, but the people too
they made the adventure - a fairy-tale come through
both my own little group and the Indians there
with a laugh, a kind look, and you sense that they care
about you and the world and the ones they have near
- and they are in the bubble just like you
- with no cars, shops or internet, and they enjoy it too
and the feeling of being completely away from the whole world
and yet
I have never felt more
alive
