Vijay Pandit Poet Quatrain

Mountains

Climb the terrain slowly, the nature's wonder is unfolding
Look afar, the Rocky Mountain peaks are beholding
Marvel the scenic wonder of rising bluish hues 
Catch the rainbow hiding behind snow covered views.

Roam the glowing clouds with a dessert in the dining car
Glance at the meadows of fiery red near and afar
Cross through the Moffat Tunnel the Continental Divide
Pass the Canyons by the Colorado River on a noisy ride.

Wake up to the elevation of brilliant gold Aspen trees
Lift up, the Sierra Nevada glows in snow dusted peaks
Fly with the blue birds in the granite mountain breeze
Meander among the chorus of falling golden leaves.

Paul Callus December 17, 2018 at 4:13 PM Phew!! Soup needs to invent something so we can make out which poems we have/not read! I'm pleased that finally I stumbled on this one...captivating. Reminds me of a documentary I saw about a train making its way through mountains and wild terrain. Regards // paul
