Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

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.

Barry Stebbings February 12, 2019 at 1:29 PM 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 Gary Smith February 12, 2019 at 2:23 PM 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.
