I watch the sun set, o’er the mountains
A breathtaking sight, for my eyes, to see
Colors of orange, red, yellow, like a fountain
Decorating twilight, with a glorious apogee
Word of the Day Daily Prompt – Breathtaking

Snowcapped mountains, a place to roam
For a family of the wolves, tis their home
Frosted breath echoes, with every howl
Voices in the night, they’re on the prowl
The crisp frigid air, does charm their senses
Each one watches, with heightened defenses
Ready to strike, when the moment is right
Take heed to the call, of the wolf, in the night
January Writing Prompt – Milky white peaks charmed their senses – Day 5/31

A sinking sun sets the mood, o’er the mountains
The last bell chimes, and silence fills the lands
Peacefulness reigns, with the dimming light
Which cast its shadows, across the sands
A haze falls over the country, like a slumber
Not even the chirp of crickets can be heard
And as night settles in, and day slips away
The colors of the sky, become serenely blurred
December Writing Prompt – The last bell chimed and not even the crickets could be heard – Day 28/31

A deceptive view, my eyes do see, above the water, stands a tree; and yet, it also lives beneath, with reflections of a barren heath. As does the mountain, and the sun; casting shadows, all is one.
I allow myself to linger there, watching as they meet; land and water, trees and air, lying at my feet. Basking in this wonder, I breathe in all the glory; both above and under, this is nature’s telling story.
Sitting on the banks, I close my eyes and meditate; for this beauty I must thank, as my soul, it does elate.

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Wondering what tomorrow brings
Silver linings in the clouds
Sunrise made of golden rings
Trees that glisten emerald
Like gems against the sky
Flora dressed in sapphire and ruby
So much grace before my eyes
Silent waters crystal shine
Reflecting off the land
Prismatic shadows dance about
Their colors softly fanned
These beautiful adornments
No bracelet, brooch nor ring
Can ever match the splendor
Mother Nature always brings
Cast your eyes on these stones
Their brilliance sparks a flame
No price is put upon these jewels
Their cost, too grand to name
