Range

Ridged peaks, rolling foothills
reach over our region,
rest under snow blankets,
recover from roiling,
raging summer wildfires.
Reeling smoke will only
return with a vengeance.

The landscape is so expansive, I like the contrast of snow blankets and wildfires, there's an element of danger running through this, best wishes for the contest!
