A Poem to the Mountains

Posted

Hi Everyone,
With the summer spirit upon us, I tried my hand in some poetry. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

To the mountains I raise my eyes,
And with my pen I’ll express my praise.
In the spring, as the world woke up from hibernation,
Your slopes, valleys, and roads flowed with fresh pristine water.
Your sap is flowing everywhere,
And its taste is sweeter than sweet.
You overflow with blessing and share it with others downhill,
Because you nourish and sustain even the ones who don’t caress your soil.
As the summer comes along your giving doesn’t stop,
“Up your alley” now, is fresh air to share.
You rejuvenate and refresh, the young and the old,
You embrace everyone –
both, the ones who sleep on you and the ones who dream about you during the winter
In you, east meets west and urban meets rural.
People of different worlds find “common ground” on you.
You make everyone feel special by raising them up high.
Your qualities and your greatness stand tall
With pride you testify to the goodness of your creator and the ideals we shall all aspire.
May we all learn from you:
To raise, to sustain, to ensweeten, to delight, to refresh… and to rejuvenate
Ourselves and all who are around us, to the best of our abilities
May it be a safe, peaceful, refreshing, and joyful summer to us all and to the greater world.

Let me know your thoughts…
