This was recently found - written during the summer of 2004 in Alaska

And the sky is blue 
With the clouds so white 
Just a moment ago they were orange and gold 
Beyond the road 
The mountains climb 
And the bears reside 
And the moose have babies 
The wolves in their dens of 15 or more 
In their homes 4 ft.  high
Look out over the forest so wide 
To gather 
The best vantage point 
The air’s so quiet now 
Most of us are in bed 
Yet soon to awake to 
Serve the hungry patrons. 
Maybe everything we say and do is 
Lost in translation 
And the only real things 
Are the glaciers and this mountain 
And the white sheep eating grasses 
Sometimes we ruin the peacefulness of it all 
With our drunken banter 
And far off cries 
Because even in this place 
The best of human nature 
Is sometimes hidden
