Take me into
the mountains
where air is
crisp and fresh
where
ancestral spirits roam
these sacred
lands their home
Let me embark
on a journey
where living
forests breathes
where mother
earth's voice rises
nature
revealing hidden surprises
Take me into
the mountains
where gentle
deer hearts sprint
where white
owl's wisdom is shown
walking paths
into dreams unknown
Let me listen
with unobstructed ears
where trees
whisper, drums beat
where
chanting songs are heard
singing
verses, repeating words
Take me into
the mountains
where
mystical powers can heal
where
haunting fears are released
dancing blue
flames, worries cease
Let me
discover true inner peace
where
my heart expresses love
where my
inner spirit takes flight
seeing life
third eye, full of light
Take me into
the mountains
where
glistening red garnet shines
where stories
& dreams are shared
feeling
whole, my soul is repaired
Let me
be entranced by silent beauty
where purifying
waters quench thirst
where ancient
ones blessed the land
reborn in
skin & flesh I proudly stand
Take me into the mountains....
Take me into the mountains....

DeleteNature can do this ... the mountain sings for us.. we should listen
ReplyDeleteBjorn, I so agree the mountains sing and if we just
Deletelisten we will feel the harmony.
A soaring spirit traveling to the mountains on the breath of the Old Ones. How lovely. I especially love "white owl's wisdom". Sigh. Take me, too!
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Sherry,
DeleteThe mountains reach out and touch with such power as
nature comes to life and speaks in a soft tongue.

DeleteThis flows like a song of mountains. The best retreat from busy life and so beautiful thoughts you have expressed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely comment. The mountains are humbling.
DeleteSome great imagery pictured in your words and beautifully written. I feel quite cold, imagining the ancient lands. :-)
ReplyDelete-HA
Thank you for visiting and your kind words..it actually was a bit cold there over the weekend as the November wind blew in leaving a dusting of snow.
Deletethere's something soothing and protecting about the moutains... i live close to switzerland...and yeah... kinda grew up with the mountains close and love the beauty and majesty - esp. in winter..
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I can only imagine what beauty that would be to see the mountains of Switzerland..I am sure they have a story or two to tell.
DeleteSuch a beautiful litany of the healing nature in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteThe mountains do indeed hold healing powers for the body, soul and mind.
DeleteYes...the natural landscape is the best kind of respite!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, agree I took this picture myself last weekend...
DeleteThis felt to me like the chant of a Native American with the deep love of nature, the references to animal totems. This is one of my favorites of yours so far.
ReplyDeleteVictoria, thank you so much for your kind words..I have a deep
Deletelove for nature and the animals that guide us in our journey.
lived for a few years in Prescott Valley, AZ. I was surrounded by several mountain ranges, the closest and my favorite being the Granite Dells, a majestic mountain range that always called to me..I could feel the spirits of yore and the serenity whenever I drove through those mountains. Your poem put me in that mood. Very nice
ReplyDeleteI am so glad my poem could take you to your special place. I've
Deletenever been to AZ but, I really need to take a trip out there as many
have told me about the beauty of the landscape.
