Laura Breidenthal Poet Blank verse

The Mountains

The silhouettes of the mountains reveal a face
Enveloping the irises with a mystifying gaze
Far into the depths—lost faces are revealed
The spirit of the empty and lost—reveled  
And as the darkness burns throughout the night
One is left with a sense of reverence for the forms
One is left with a tempest—elevating the soul

Michelle Mac Donald April 27, 2012 at 8:38 PM Love this one, Laura! Fun and interesting how you captured something that many cannot see, without your power of words and imagination! I have a question though, it's been always plaguing me, what are those animals on that picture? Maybe kangaroos, teeny dogs, or oh, I'm stumped! Best wishes! Mikki

Chuck Novotny April 13, 2012 at 9:37 PM Wow. I take a break to hike a few days and such powerful words get posted in my absence. "And as the darkness burns throughout the night / One is left with a sense of reverence for the forms" - you must have been very near where I was in the wilderness. Exceptional! -- Chuck
