Midway, Mountainside

I stretch lazily in the morning sun-
 awakening to pure mountain air
 mingled with herbs and flowers.

 the mist gives a magical hue
 to fresh greens and pinks

 chasing the mountainside down to the Mattole
 then the Pacific pounding the cliffs below.

 my senses are delighted
 by the magnificent beauty,
 raw, unmarred, unsurpassed....
