On Cloud Nine

The earth is sleeping under the blanket of fog, daylight gently awakens her from her stupor, misty mountains melt in the magical morning, as each step surprises us to what lays ahead, The clouds float by, spreading their chillness in the air, wispy breeze blows past sprinkling wintry cheer around, atmospheric brume brushes away all boredom, hovering haze heightens our heady adventure, The climb uphill is as fuzzy as it can be, vapours blur our vision and view of the valley, beauty of the place is hid behind cloud curtains with the biting weather assaulting our senses, Walking through the clouds in an ethereal feel, the presence of God is tangible than ever, words cannot describe the artistry of that place, some things must be experienced to be fathomed. 12.29.2020

Enjoyed this one a lot Jo, especially the alliteration sprinkled in nicely. This is the kind of free verse I enjoy the most, well done!

Great imagery created in this free verse with some wonderful alliteration 'misty mountain melts in magical morning', 'atmospheric brume brushes away boredom'... Loved reading this. God bless ~ Ani

You're absolutely correct about actually experiencing a place to appreciate it, Jo. I'm reminded of the Smoky Mountains in your poem. Great lines, with just the right touch of alliteration.
