Gratitude on the mountaintop... |
| Gratitude Again To Mountainside Down, Throughout, Surrounding, Encircling Within, At Surface and at Core. I love you Mountain! Simply. Expansively! Viewed from Point-of-the-Mountain, Here, And Valley Floor, There. Ancient Emergence of Elements Compounded, Not unlike Flower from Seed, You've sprung... Unearthed for walking talking humans, mammals, -more... For me Playing Wildly, pounding upon with tan bared feet No way to defy your gravity, -except Air. Paragliders Abound as in awe, I stare A sight for technological world-weary monotony, are you! Wistful Wind-whipped Weeds and Reeds- Sing to me! From hollowed out Husks, Green-gray tufts, Purple Black and Brown, Ten shades of tan, Pink, pink-white white Wildflowers Waving As sun-filled wands of delight, Scented sage, hills of sand, sifting, lifting, Your cool-blooded mud sustains me As I sleep now, body above, Soul sunk deeply within. |
