Rocky Mountain Visit

Rocky Mountains tower in God’s sun 
Their splendor captured in photos
Below wild stallions make a run
Putting on such fun-filled air shows

Silhouettes of birds passing by
I call to them, but remain unheard
Now I too feel free enough to fly
But looking down, by fear I’m deterred

Fifty words when I read I heard. The Rocky Mountains have a certain lure and beauty. Nice short piece Carolyn, James :)
