Meet the poets: Karla K. Morton, Alan Birkerbach with Lisa Carver on the left.

The poets are touring the National Parks and penned the lyrics about preserving our sacred spaces.

Carver, formerly of Nashville where she wrote for many of the top names in country music, relocated to New Mexico in search of a more down to Earth life.

She put the words to music and delivers a moving performance.
