Night of Awe

I recall one Winters night in the high mountains when the mystic peaks shone like steel pins, awe-inspiring in the moonlight so that my tears flowed at the grand sight. The heavens were alive with myriad points of glittering light, all quivering it seemed with joy unconcealed, as if a vast, eternal love amongst then wheeled. Who could not be deeply touched gazing up into such immeasurable immensities; a steadfast infinite radiant frieze./ What holy beauty, 'twas as if my soul received a holy kiss. Such awe-which was not dread, but bliss./

Great mood comes through. I hear lines from Coleridge's 'Xanadu'..."Oh, that deep romantic chasm...as holy and enchanted as ere beneath a waning moon..." Love it."
