Mt Fuji Mountain Bride

You Exude Reverence and Silence In your wedding gown you adorn the sky Crisp and white, lacy along your edges, Wowing the masses year after year, As you wait for your groom. Something borrowed, something blue, something old, Blue snow, borrowing your page from your own book. As you are unique, and people never tire of your freshness. Old wise ones point you out, marveling at your patience You exude reverence and silence, adorning the landscape, Your bridal gown perpetually fresh and clean, virginal. Cherry Blossom trees, although beautiful, Dare not whisper of your magnificent loveliness. Ancient spirits have placed you here to wow Generations upon generations of appreciative souls. Needing no flowers or veil, you dwarf them with your mystical, magical magnificent presence. Faeries and angels knew what they were about When they placed you here, bridging the gap between earth and sky, spreading awe and faith into the valley of people who revere and adore you. Mt. Fuji, home.

What an awesome, poetic tribute to a majestic peak. Super-fantabulous imagery. Very, very well-done! Papa and Mama Fuji would be proud. :) gw

I am so glad that my imagery paid off. It is not easy for me to write nicely like this. A struggle.

Thank you Wren. I am so glad you feel this way. I will never travel there. Too much sitting. I went to Hawaii once, and did not want to get on a plane to come back, dreading it so.

Thank you Gregory. I really appreciate your comment. I truly am trying to figure out imagery, and metaphor and stuff like that which I did not know about at all when I started on here 11 months ago.

I must add Japan to my bucket list. A lovely poem; she is certainly beautiful.
