Poetic Thoughts

Poetic thoughts keep coming to me Descriptive images beg expression Nature’s beauty and how it unfolds, Places I’ve been, what I’ve witnessed Evoking scenery from what has passed.
Mountain peaks trying to reach the sky Snowcapped, glistening in rising sun Hiking along upper rims and ledges, Trudging through new fallen snow Feeling sun’s warmth upon my face.
Winding rivers around sharp bends Coursing currents, ever faster flows Rocky banks and treacherous shoals, Watching boats precariously thrown As I leisurely hike along rocky shore.
Feeling power of strong blowing winds Gracefully bending trees, falling leaves As autumn’s colors can be vividly seen, And poetic thoughts keep coming to me.
