A Content Man

Wandering o'er the mountain tops The world beneath my feet, Not a noise, no breath of wind, There are days when life is sweet. To rest by a cascading stream And let a while pass by, Listening to the water flow, A content man am I. The echoing of jousting crows Interrupts my somnolence, But to awaken to such beauty, Is delightful recompense. A place to soothe a weary soul, True solitude is here. The silence of the mountains, Is music, to my ears. Entry for Music to my Ears Poetry Contest Sponsored by Silent One. 11/2/19

Excellent portrayal of the mountain solitude. From the way you write I would guess you are in Wainwright Country. Good luck in the Contest. // Barry

Thank you Barry, and yes we have climbed many Wainwrights, the one in the picture is Lingmell, We have sat at that very view, just stunning.
