Up Here

Up here are mountain majesties. Breathe in! Take in the scent of pine. Enjoy the coolness of the breeze. Behold the blue lake - crystalline! Tranquility and purity encompass this beauty that you see. For john freeman's New Contest: A Nature Verse Poetry Contest

Hi Andrea Nature's soothing power Andrea! The picturesque mountain and the lake, I do enjoy them. They calm me down when I think I have too much on my plate. Nice verse. Now, take that snake all along with you on your retirement. It can be a good pet I think! Dalila

Take in all that God will give. Up on the heavens where you live. And cleanse your soul with crystalline stillness. That cures the body's nervous illness.
