The Mountains of Arkansas
The sun raises up over the ridge
The sky shines a multitude of colors
Pink with a tinge of purple
That only lasts for a few precious moments
Some mornings the clouds
Come down from the sky into the fields
Allowing a walk in the mist
Who knew it was possible to walk in the clouds
The fields are filled with nature
Deer feed while tending their fawn
Rabbits hop, coyotes hunt while the roadrunners race around
Watch out for the bear, large cat or the razorback
The birds are plentiful in their beauty
The red of the cardinals, blue of the jays and yellow of the finches
The sounds of the woodpecker and hummingbirds
The soaring of the hawks, vultures, and eagles
When it rains all run for cover
The thunder roars, and makes the mountain shake
Lighting strikes a tree with a mighty boom
Fearing the tornado that can come from any place
As the sky clears the sun shines down
The water reflecting off the leaves
The animals return refreshed
The rainbow crosses the sky reminding us of God’s promise
The roads twist and turn, up and down
With drops off to the left and right
Careful as dangers are abound
Deer dash all around
As the day turns to night it becomes total darkness
The sounds of the tree frogs fill the air
In the distance the scream of a small animal
being caught as dinner in the forest
At night the creatures crawl scorpions, spiders, and snakes
Birds of prey hunt the fields
On the mountain the circle of life takes place
Survival of the fittest
The sky is clear, and in the darkness
Stars can be seen representing all the constellations
The stars shoot across the sky and quickly die
It is amazing the beauty of the sky
