Dawn by the Mountainside

As the last thread of darkness bids
farewell, it took a swipe at their 
peaks,
A thick coat of mist casts a wet blanket
over their faces and swiftly leaves,
Then, out comes the glow of Dawn’s 
first golden rays cascading warmth all 
over them,
Giant guardians of the earth, through 
it all, the mountains stood in silence,
Dawn by the Mountainside, both beautiful 
and harsh, taught me a lesson in patience 
and endurance.

As the world awakes, songbirds herald
in the break of a new day,
A gentle wind begins to stir, caressing 
everything in its way,
Leaves from the valley's tall trees made
a soft musical sound,
And the sunlight glistened as it danced 
across the winding river,
Oh, dawn by the mountainside is full of 
treasures I’m blessed to have found.

In nature’s open space of solitude and
serenity, worries melt away,
And hearts can find peace in the 
graceful beauty of its view,
So, walk by where the mountains stand
in the early morn,
For dawn by the Mountainside,
refreshes the soul and ignites the fire 
in the heart, making you feel alive and 
spankingly anew.

Dear Zyrool, your appreciation for the Mountainside is beautifully expressed through your exquisite imageries that "refreshes the soul and ignites the fire in the heart" making me "feel alive and spankingly anew." The vivid scene you poetically create brings me there "where the mountains stand" with ease and I adore the view. Simply beautiful poetry my dear friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
