There's a wild sky over the mountains
As a stormy day gives way to night.
Nature has created a striking collage
Of bold, gray strokes and shafts of light,
Piles of white clouds and patches of blue,
Framed by a rainbow the angels drew.

There's a wild sky over the mountains,
I'm in awe of this beautiful view,
And I feel a sense of excitement,
For the world seems fresh and new.
Or is it only a memory
Of a world I used to know
When the mountains and sky
Looked much the same
A very long time ago.

Hello, Ida!

"I'm in awe of this beautiful view,"

Ida, as the others said, you paint a picture
with words. I could see it in my minds eye.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.
Hugs,

my heart knows such a place my friend, further enhanced by your words herein...
here, hold my hand a while and we'll walk a ways taking it All in. Ah, feel the wind with me as it slides off the leaves . . .

P.s. just noticed you're from El Monte...lived there a couple years, back in the late 60's.  My son owns a Chik-fil-lay in Riverside - let me know if you're going up that way...I'll get you some beef-free diner....

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I have always been lucky enough to live within sight of the mountains even though I have lived in different places.
