Pilchuck Tapestry

~ Beyond the Mountain ~

Paint me a picture where colors run in western horizon sight

Beyond the still-aired mountain night,

With artistry like that of a tapestry

Sits a pale-yellow moon as nature's only registry,

In the star-studded midnight light.

 

What brings you here the mountain asks?

Is it adventure, discovery, exploration tasks?

And I in my camp lucubrate with words

'Till the coming of dawn and the twitting of birds.

 

Hear now, looms the wild and dare

Yonder sings horizon and nature's dreams she wishes me to share . . .
