Echo

The trees are bare, but the mountains are golden
In this early morning sunrise, someone captured on video
While some are sleeping, still caught in the night
Such perfect moments pass us by, out of sight
Frozen snow with crunching footsteps break silence 
Maybe, the echo will travel the hills and wake you
Or just maybe, your dreams will rise with the sun

'Such perfect moments pass us by out of sight'. Sometimes those perfect moments pass by because we choose not to see them. A lovely poem, my friend.

Dear Heidi, Your poem beautifully captures the fleeting moments of dawn, vividly depicting nature's quiet majesty. The imagery of bare trees against golden mountains evokes a serene beauty, while the idea of perfect moments passing us is lovely. Your words transport me, the reader, to that frozen landscape, where even footsteps break the silence. The wonderful magic of morning. - Blessings, Daniel
