In the Mountains

In the mountains There is silence The peaceful contentment Of a mind At one with nature In the evening twilight Surrounded by tranquil beauty And the stillness of the rugged landscape Let the meditative mind Pause and reflect In a moment of silence What God has done. W.A CHOLT. Copyright Fergal O Reilly. 2020 21/4/20

Beautiful verse, W.A.! I can appreciate your poem very much since I live in Col Springs and I can glance up from my typing and see Glorious Pikes Peak in the distance. I'm glad you enjoyed the Fort Laramie write and appreciate your comments. Best to you as you continue your poetical journey - Bob

Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my work. I'm not mountain person, heights have adverse effects on me. I do, however, enjoy at a distance. I have driven over the Rockies and the Alps when i was much younger. I enjoy writing short succinct poems and longer ones (like historical narratives). Best to you in your writing endeavors. / Maurice

This is a favorite for me. So nice. I live in the mountains and love the mountains. Well done :)

Your last line says it all, and wraps your poem up pretty with a bow. Thanks, Gershon

Yes, nature provides an excellent basis for meditation, especially when we are not subjected to the distractions of everyday life. ~ Regards // paul
