At the edge of the world, where the heavens meet the earth, lay a mountain scene so exquisitely beautiful that it seemed to transcend the boundaries of reality and transform into a living poem. The sun, a radiant artist, painted the sky with hues of gold and tangerine, as if to bid a fond farewell to the day. Wisps of ethereal clouds cascaded down the slopes like graceful dancers, weaving an enchanting tapestry across the horizon. The majestic peaks, adorned in blankets of snow and glistening ice, stood like stoic sentinels guarding the secrets of the ages. Below, a lush valley embraced a meandering river, its gentle flow a soothing melody that harmonized with the whispers of the wind. Trees, adorned in autumnal colors, swayed in rhythmic unity, as if they too were lost in the enchantment of the mountain's allure. In this symphony of nature, time seemed to stand still, and for a fleeting moment, the observer became one with the poetry of the mountain scene, forever imprinted upon the heart. ------------------------- Poets Who Walk Thy Shore Thou, forest dark with spruce and larch, high walled, With weave of needled branches formed to bar All intrusion, by inquiry appalled, Bent on wearying eyes that gaze afar To secrets that lie old on speechless tongues, Are thy cold altars empty but for night air Through which thrust purposeless ascending rungs To the sky, to heaven, or to nowhere! In thy columned cathedral does there dwell Some pious priest of yore or mystic lore Who might with merciful design impart Life’s meaning or of eternity tell? Ignore no more poets who walk thy shore, Whose lips sing mention of thy empty heart, And breathe human passion through thy silent hall – Should no soul remain to hear thy trees fall. ~ Daniel F Mitchell Contact AOWS at: anythingoutdoorswithsteve@gmail.com ?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️ Music in this video: Masters Of Chant Chapter VII (2009) Gregorian - Kashmir - Led Zeppelin #backpacking #hikingadventures #nature ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Ig68T93x4
