A Pikes Peak Winter Night

A Pikes Peak Winter Night

The mountain peak at sunset time
Gives off a crimson glow
And high above the timberline
There lies eight feet of snow
I watch the sun drop out of sight
And stars glow everywhere
And on this cold and windy night
I long to be right there
In silence then to wish upon
The first star that I see
That when my life is dead and gone
My spirit is set free
To float above the peak so high
To be a guiding light
For others gazing wishfully 
On a Pikes Peak winter night

Leo Larry Amadore Date: 1/5/2015 1:25:00 PM Artistically phrased and pleasingly rhythmical...I enjoyed reading this, although I am not a fan of cold weather...I do however appreciate the beauty of Pike's Peak and snow and starlight, if only from a distance. Good work. Login to Reply Mike Dailey Date: 1/5/2015 1:28:00 PM Thank you for the comment. Not only am I not a fan of the cold, I retired to the North Carolina coast to get away from it. But I do enjoy the views as long as I do not have to actually be out in the cold to see them.

Eve Roper Date: 1/5/2015 12:45:00 PM Beautiful, the snow peaks of a mountain or so beautiful from a distance. Mount Shasta was one of my favorites as you drive into California from the Oregon boarder. Nice write, Mike, 7 Login to Reply Mike Dailey Date: 1/5/2015 1:16:00 PM I saw a beautiful picture of Pikes Peak. It was a night time, moon-lit scene and I just had to write about it. I am glad you liked it. I would love to see Mount Shasta one of these days. I have never been that far north in California - maybe some day.
