Month: March 2016

Red buds pink flowers

Burst open to mountain mist

Bright haze of blossoms.

Mountains ascending

Gentle peaks hold each other

As they reach for sky.

Spring showers swell stream

Ribbons of water falling

Ancient rocks glisten.

Cloud spirals upward

Trees exhale in fading light

Sky draws black curtain.

Shrub shaped by tempests

Clings to lichen crusted rocks

Endless peaks below.

Surging down mountain

Rain swollen stream roars softly

Over mossy rocks.

Dappled clouds drifting

Deep blue clings to horizon

Pale circle up high.

Sharp branches on shore

Throw reflections onto lake

Blurred in water’s face.

Cold lingers in peaks

Early spring drained of color

Except evergreens.

Above distant peaks

Layers of clouds grow darker

Orange sun burns through.
