Peaks

Dark clouds encircled the majestic peaks
 Hovering, lingering, around the tips
 Hiding the summit above.
  Enshrouded in thick mist
  dark, like a mysterious enigma.
  Swirling and dancing to the winds refrain.
 Clearing for only a moment,you glimpse
  Casting your eyes on peaks
  that have stood centuries of time.

Hidden, then visible, these monoliths are testament to the endurance of nature. We see them in all their glory when clouds and mists evaporate! Well done, Phyl!! Best wishes, Keith :)
