Camping

Day 5 of 90 Days of Poetry

Beneath the covers’ of a starlit sky,

A blanket of nature wrapped around,

Upon a Colorado mountain high,

There’s a place of wonder to be found.

 

Among the majestic pines and woods

That sooth the worries of yesteryear,

Where the stillness does the soul some good,

A needed shift from life’s high gear.

 

Using stones as a place to sit

Close family and friends gather round

To drink the warmth of the campfire pit

As each tell of joys they’ve found

 

And as the sun begins to rise

We soak in one last breathtaking view,

Then journey back into our busy lives

Revitalized, rejuvenated, and renewed.
