high on a mountain top
looking down to the cities below
watching cars drive in the distance
seeming closer to the gray clouds
than the tree tops far below
wathcing the wind
blow through the stalks
of a young pine jutting
out of the cliff
hearinga hound bay
the moon a sliver
the rocks a masterpiece
one faint star glittering
white and blue fade to orange
pink fades to purple
which fades to the light
blue of the mountain top
which fades to darker blue
and finally to green
pure cool mountain air stirs
a deep calm comes over me
I feel small in the majestic place
my mortaility as large as
the rock I sit upon.
the light is quickly fading
leaving a cloak of faint romantic light
the sky is becoming more subdued in color
the rocks so in texture
lights below seem brighter
against this hazy backdrop
at this moment all seems so simple
and connected. earth wind fire water
all togheter and yet seperate
as I need to be with all the elements of my life.
