Snow Covered Mountains

Backlit snow-covered mountains in a Swiss hamlet
A place I have dreamed about but have not actually met.
Saturated in snow, covering black evergreen trees.
A magical place, in my dreams, that feels like a tease.

I create an impassible road, with no cars around.
It is a hushed reverent night, with not one single sound.
There arises in the night a marigold amber moon 
I feel something unusual will be happening soon.

The air is cold, I can feel my breath as I walk.
Quietude surrounds me in this mountainside lock
I feel loved, cherished and safe in this dream
The moon sends me love in each of his beams.

This is beautiful, Caren, with such vivid images of the winter. We have those snow-covered mountains in West Virginia, too. Spectacular. Well-done, my friend!
