Vista's
Welcome to the mountain,
my sanctuary a place of healing, of being.
Surround yourself within this bounty of creation.
I found the mountain backbone,
the beauty itself unfolds, Grassy swaths,
interspurts with forest glades.
Slabs of stone, scaled, beneath my feet.
Onto the stepping stones, of this ridge I'm on,
Solitude, hushing the reaches of my time.
In the vastness of this beauty, words
seem not to support
what is before me.
I see mossy boulders, teeming with life,
clinging to the moss, tiny flowers adding an artistic touch.
Rose colored hues of stone mixed with verdant greens,
soft to the touch.
The backs of
these gaints are cool, yet the front,
sunwarmed when I touch it, resounding
with a life of its own.
The canopy
of the trees, within
sight of the blueness of the
cloudless skies, stretching
on as far
as the eyes can see.
Hemlocks standing sentinel, the roots forming
stairs crossing over the
pathways.
Shadows
amidst the brightness of the sun.
The meandering of the river, sepentine,
brownish green, slow moving
Turning round
each bend before my eyes.
Butterfiles,
touching down, lavender wings
fluttering in
the breeze of its own making.
Dotting the landscape with a
texture all of its own.
Wild strawberries, their flowers, absorbing
the heat
radiating down from the
sun.
Patches of blueberries.
As yet,
small tight green buds.
Flowering maple
shrubs their white flowers
dotting the
forest floor.
And, around the bend
finding raspberry bushes,
with their white
flowers opened to the sun,
Scurring thru
chipmunks running peeking out from the
brush. The melodies
of the birds
surrounding us with songs,
The cry
of the hawk echoing in the sky.
I want to share this beauty with
you see it from my eyes. Uplifting
the
soul, flooding you
with the
sensations of site, smell, and touch.
