With majesty they rise, and seem to touch the sky, and then they deem to catch a passing cloud on high Which lingers with a wispy sigh On peaks where sunlight dares to gleam And birds of prey who reign supreme Cast their gaze on the lake for bream And from lofty perches they fly With majesty The gurgle of a mountain stream, Soon a river of which to dream Flows gently as a lullaby Where lofty peaks meet azure sky Mountains stand tall in nature's scheme With majesty -- 8/12/17

A visual delight Joseph! "to catch a passing cloud on high Which lingers with a wispy sigh". I love to watch the clouds embrace the mountain tops, it inspires the soul! Congratulations on your placement. This is quite lovely! : )
