Days of Sun and Azure Skies

Days of sun and azure skies
Blissful hours out on the fell.
Boundless joy, heading high
As nature casts her magic spell.

Oh such beauty there I saw,
Mighty fells, serried peaks.
How I want for nothing more,
My soul, it heard the mountains speak.

Atop the fell, free as a bird
The world now far below my feet.
Filled with awe, my spirit stirred
Was ever there a land so sweet.

I just love this, Gary. It reminds me of where I grew up. You say it so well, that feeling of looking off from a high place.
