Once a wild wilderness,
filled with tough realities;
It's rugged beauty was reflected
in the eyes of rugged men.
Changes swept through
alongside the years.
It's new beauty grew from the
dreams seen by cultivated eyes.
Surrounding hills
are not untouched,
but still cling hard to
their ancient beginnings.
Upon these hills
I walk today.
Sun shines from far above,
Chin-chago flows far below.
The ghosts of the explorers
and the natives before me
whisper with the wind.
I revel in their beauty.
My time will come.
Some day it will be my turn
to lay upon these hills,
to feel the sun from the north and the south.
The grass will cover me,
entwine me among its roots.
I will become yet another
knoll among these tireless hills.
The deer will stand to graze upon me.
Future explorers will feel me
as I whisper in the wind,
and I will tell them of my home.

This is beautifully written. Atmospheric, lyrical and touched with old history, that's a fine combination, and used with great effect here. Well done!

We all have our own thoughts of eternity but yours sound fine to me.
