As Day Draws Nigh

A river goes roaring by

Rushing swiftly on

A tree reaches for the sky

Yearning for the sun

A cloud floats into horizon’s eye

Dancing and dodging

Having its fun

Birds soar on the wind’s whispered sigh

Drifting and gliding

Until they are done

A mountain looms over all so high

Guarding and watching

As day draws nigh.

 

Walk With Me

Walk with me

Beyond our tomorrows

To a land of eternal dreams

Look at the stars, the moon,

And God’s own heaven

See the glory spread

Across the midnight sky

Walk with me through

Clouds of rain

And dewdrop shimmers

Cascading waterfalls

And moon lit seas

Walk with me

Beyond the crimson sun

Past quaking aspen

Ready for new snow

Scan the mountains

Reaching out imaginary arms

To embrace the coming day

Walk with me my love

All these wonders we can see

Arm and arm beyond our tomorrows

That still are yet to be.

Mountain Morn

Daybreak dances over grand majestic views

Morning’s sunrise gleams with autumn’s hues

Golden eagles soar above the sunlit ridge

A valley stream caresses the old canyon bridge

Quaking aspens are dressed in glittering gold

As flashes of sunlight become more bold

Big horn sheep scale the craggy heights again

While silver foxes scurry into their forest den

Lovelorn elk bugle out a lonesome call

Beneath rugged pines standing straight and tall

Giant waterfalls cascade among tiny rainbows

As reflecting pools fill with melting snows

Butterflies flitting from flower to flower

Sweetened by a soft moonlight shower

Wispy clouds stream over the brave summit’s face

Disappearing miraculously without a trace

Chattering squirrels gather fallen conifer cones

Tiny chipmunks scamper over moss-covered stones

Mama doe watching over her newborn fawn

Miracles unfolding within this sun-drenched dawn

Life’s amazing wonders are on this stillness borne

Flying on the wings of every mountain morn.
