Mountain View

Across miles of land to see Is a black ridge mountain view High in the peach colored sky Distinct as my memory of you Some things are too far to reach So, I reel them in with my mind Comforting me in quiet stillness From beyond what I can find The wind speaks its language In the rustling leaves around Words I think you’re telling me Fall to settle on the ground I don’t want to turn away So I keep on welcoming more Surrounding me with such peace That I’ve been longing for Heidi Sands 9/11/20

This is a tender place of quietude with a tinge of sadness, Heidi. The nature you describe fills the emptiness in the soul like nothing else can. I like how you 'reel them in with your mind'. This is a wonderful writing for someone who is looking for answers that are slow in coming. Heartfelt congratulations for you POTD, today. Enjoy the honor and your week ~ John

Congratulations on POTD Heidi. There is a certain romanticism that comes from looking at the mountains. So peaceful yet so rugged. Nicely penned and a very worthy write. Hoping you are well. Is it cooling off up there yet? Fall is just around the corner.
