Magical Mountain Where Blue Cat Resides

Magical Mountain Where Blue Cat Resides This Majestic mount made of magic stone; I climbed every night as a lonely child. Tall and regal, it stood there all alone, symbol of a world fantastic and wild! Atop the peaks in my racing night dreams, I looked across earth's fantastic skies. Resting below, forests and flowing streams lay magic's realm where a blue cat resides. Deep within each night's visionary quest, I'd pray for family sleeping nearby. Brave climber, courageous, daring his best fantastic thrills rewards every night's try! This Majestic mount made of magic stone was conquered by a child of flesh and bone! Robert J.

Yes, I had just saw that you chose this poem for painting number three. I am very thankful for all your sage advice given thus far and this honor you have bestowed on me by choosing this poem! I am very happy that I decided to do your, ten/ten/ten/ten challenge. I almost didn't , due to personal health problems and my increased family duties, etc. A true blessing that its turned out to be a great experience!
