The Magnificence of the Mountains

For there is freedom on 
top of the mount,
as I quench my thirst
from the Niagara Falls fount.
I have seen the Rockies 
and the Appalachians,
on journeys to other states
for family vacations. 

Mother Nature calls the
Bald Eagle to soar, 
through the wondrous valleys
of Mount Rushmore. 
No sights are as marvelous 
as the snow-capped heights, 
of the Anchorage, Alaska
Northern Lights. 

From Mount Kilimanjaro
to Mount Everest, 
there is so much magnificence
filled with zest. 
There’s an altitude of 
fourteen thousand feet, 
up the beautiful trails
to Colorado’s Pikes Peak. 

There are Mountain Lions
and various Coyotes, 
found hiding in the lower
altitude of Denali. 
Mount Fuji holds the
species of the brutal Bear,
and you can find the
Grey Fox high up there. 

No matter which mountain 
you see in creation,
each will bring the most 
captivating sensation.
