New Frames of Mind

Colors of the sunset burst from behind the mountain range
Across the desert it looked like a fire blazing in the sky
I will never forget the miles traveled, to reach a sight like this
It still blazes in my memory after all these years
Sometimes, it’s that perfect moment, the timing is just right
When the world is suddenly seen in a different view
Struck with amazement, by all that this creation can be
Across the country, changes happen, realizations come about
Lessons learned by striking sights, through luring miles and time
While blazing new trails to travel, all in new frames of mind

Thank you Timothy. I have waited sometimes too so I can get photos to paint. I am lucky to see the sunrise and sunset from my home location on the hill too. Sometimes I get to writing too many sunset poems lol. I appreciate your visit and comment. I hope all is well. :)

Lovely poem. Some sights can strike the mind and ignite our thoughts from time to time. Such sights and scenes are framed and hung on the walls of memory.

Enchanting write! We really are more what we think than that which is around us. And then, with a proper change of mind, all things around us seem shinny new...even ourselves. Walla! Joe.

Some delightful sights stay engraved in memories--such as the ones you describe in your opening lines, Heidi. Nature has the power to reveal and make us think and reflect-- as you so expertly illustrate.
