The U.P.

Oh, my beautiful land

You call to my soul

I hear you and I feel you

Your endless sea of green

Of pine trees, birches, and oaks

Your miles of untamed wilderness

Have a serenity that calms

My all too busy body

I long to be nestled

In your dark cocoon at night

That is so silent

You can hear your heart beat

There is no place else on Earth

That can call to my soul

Like your haunted

Woods and forests can.
