I shall seek some comfort

In the mountains, frosted white

Hide away in hollows

Casting shadows in the light

Blend in with the hilltops

Put my back against the sky

Bow my head in reverie

To angels passing by

Embracing things around me

Amidst the snow and ice

Finding solace in this place

My frozen paradise

When your world seems upside down

Reflect upon the sights around

Take in the colors of the sky

Then look at trees as if they fly

Where rock formations touch the sun

And waters tread, in stillness, run

Playing with the rippling breeze

The water, rocks and mighty trees

Restless is the wind

Blowing circles all around

Oblivious to the echoing din

And all that it surrounds

Releasing loud, its mighty roar

Cloudbursts drown the quiet

Of song birds singing merrily

Refusing to be silent

Watching as the storm clouds fade

Returning skies to bright

Giving way to rainbows

Shining through the light

Sunshine dries the fallen rain

And skies are colored blue, again

Fence posts mark the border

From which I mustn’t stray

The winding path before me

Will lead me on my way

*

Shaded by the hush of trees

Rustled gently by a breeze

*

Where I can wander on the hills

Until the days when I grow old

A journey off the guided path

To wrap myself in gold
