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.

Very nice write of one of my favorite muses, (I have a few poems on Fuji) ... I have a dear friend who sees it out her living room window every day. Wonderful imagery and personification - keep up the great work! :-) <3

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.

Thank you. I saw a photo of her and went crazy in a poetical way.
