Give Thanks

Mountains rushing towards the heavens Grass so green it hurts your eyes When the sun breaks through to light it From the grey cloud covered sky Sandy beaches free from clutter Waiting at the mountains feet Shifting with the waves that wash them To yet some other mountain meet See the rushes as they grow now At the bottom of the hill Hear the brook a gently bubbling Always running never still Smell the mountain air so sweet On the breeze as it is blown Into every crack and crevice Through the trees now hear it moan Watch the stars light up the heavens Like a million fairy lights Hear the thunder as it booms out Making us to cuddle tight Now give thanks unto your Maker For this land beauteous to see And thanks for having all our senses To let us all this beauty see

This is another beautiful poem. I think you must live near the mountains. I understand the beauty you talk about. I love the mountains. I visit them every chance I gey. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla
