Mountain Meaning Ii - Rise

Face of the Flatirons mountain range
Awakens
To the pre-dawn of the Colorado sun
A charcoal sketch
Scribbled to life from a meadow of pale paper

I wade waist-high in the waving grasslands
A whale watcher

There! There!

Gray humpbacks
Arched and
Breaking the blue surf of clouds and sky

The breach

A union of silence
Between Soul and God

I on the outside
The universe within

I was the mystery
Riding the mountain.

It is a thought-provoking masterpiece about nature, spirituality, and self-discovery.
