Beyond the Horizon

Rondeau

Beyond the Horizon

Mountain Sunrise Pictures, Images and Photos

As far as eyes can see, a grand adventure waits;
Let's pack a bag, depart, and tempt the smiling fates.
A snowy mountain peak ascends before our eyes,
A winding trail to hike before the next sunrise,
Come, join the lucky few who never vacillate.

Lace skates and take the ice to carve some figure eights;
Canoe past antelope through narrowest of straits.
Come, gaze upon night's sky and contemplate its size
As far as eyes can see.

Let's wander through a field wild flowers punctuate
As sounds of birds and bees begin to resonate;
Let's watch the light of dawn etch color on fresh skies
While nature brings a view quite worthy of our sighs.
A wondrous world unfurls beyond our garden gate
As far as eyes can see.

This is so beautiful. I can close my eyes and find myself in the Horizon of this beautifully written poem.

So beautiful!

s far as eyes can see, a grand adventure waits;
Let's pack a bag, depart, and tempt the smiling fates.
A snowy mountain peak ascends before our eyes,
A winding trail to hike before the next sunrise,
Come, join the lucky few who never vacillate.

Great Poem
