THE JOURNEY DOWNWARDS FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP..

As I begin on my journey
Journey back to my home
I capture some last moments here
Beautiful sights plethora not mere
The clouds sway across and paint the evening orange blue sky
Colors that blur between blue, white and grey…

Take my breath away the unending mount visage,
Standing still, portraying a timeless age,
From the ones near covered with a blanket of tall green pines,
To the ones far away, towering with snow covered white peaks,
Peaks that aglow with the setting sun’s golden hue,
To be parting away fills me with rue…

The valley beneath cradles a city within,
Interspersed with home for family and kin,
Silver ‘n’ golden evening lights in there brighten up the otherwise dark sights,
From bottom of the valley to the tallest of heights.

Clouds soon begin to change their shade from light to dark,
But the sky is still all stark,
All stark except for its sole embellishment – the big silvery moon,
Shade of the sky too changes soon,
From bright clear blue to the dark dusky grey,
With an orange golden light washing it mid way,
A lone star makes an appearance,
Shows itself intense,
Communicating of feelings that make no sense…

Abode in the valley alight with hundreds of lights,
Seems to me an upside down star lit sky – a breathtaking sight...
The golden on the snow changes to silver,
Splendor such that sends down a quiver…
Awakens thoughts of someone dear
Far, yet so near…

Celion Dion sings in the background of being alive
I simply wonder who could be otherwise amidst the nature’s amazing jive ……..
