Passion'd Mountain Top

Passion’d Mountain Top

 

The air is so much thinner here

Miles find my eyes gazing,

valleys wave in gardenia gestures

and foot prints form in seeking patterns

 

Smooth stone of rain drop kisses

falls steep in overwhelming beauty

as I reach for a few more steps

of overlooking apex in snowcapped dreams

 

From this height far above

the sleeping village and sunset ribbons

I can see, more than the mind can imagine

yet not father than my soul can reach

 

As heart beats in mosaic designs

echo from peak to peak,

they flow on zephyrs of silver clouded beauty,

settling upon your tender skin

 

Always when twilight horizons form in the east

and starlight canopies unfold

my love soars on breathless whispers

from this passion’d  mountain top…endlessly to you

"smooth stone of rain drop kisses

I love these lines, beautifully descriptive and rich in hope. Mountains are spiritual features where magic can happen. As I read this my mind floated off to somewhere special, bringing sweet memories to enjoy. Lovely writing. Justine
