 (does happy dance) Yay!!! Oh Lyra, I am humbled to have so many of the purple mountain majesties here in Colorado too, and even that the America song was written in Colorado too! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Ok Lady C.... Where in this world could this place be? Such splendor gracing our eyes of such grandeur and great size All of a mountain in this veil at the top of the slippery shale.. |

Thanks so much, Marti... When I lived on the east coast, I never realized how beautiful mountains were because I saw them every day. Now that I live where the land is flatter, I appreciate their beauty a lot more than I used to ~ a mountain of hugsLyra |

Maureen... thanks so much for your reply... I didn't take that picture but I wish I could claim credit for it. I got it from webshots... but the idea for the poem came from driving through the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee on vacation  ~ mountains of hugsLyra |

Noah... thanks for your very kind words... I think your mountains in Colorado are probably grander than the ones on the east coast... but all of nature is beautiful ~ loving rodent hugsLyra |

Lyra, Your descriptions of nature are absolutely amazing. I do believe the study of nature is your forte and your signature. "A steadfast santuary shading and sheltering the valley below" I could go on but, I'd only be repeating the whole poem.  SimplyGold |

Thanks so much, Electra... Maybe I should have gone to the city commission and recited poetry instead of kvetching about how they were going to ruin the neighborhood with their stupid business park! or maybe I should have gotten that into some kind of poetic form and read it to them! But I don't think they would have understood it anymore than they understood what we did say to them because they never even listened. I don't know why I am running on about all of that tonight... I guess it still makes me mad! But thanks so much for your very kind words ~ hugs from a fellow rabblerouserLyra |

Lyra~ A beautiful write about a beautiful topic. Enjoyed. I once drove through a cloud while riding to the top of a mountain and it was so strange & beautiful...Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (11-17-2002 11:16 PM).] |

Paul... thank you for your reply... Riding through clouds is fascinating, but what I described in the poem was seeing the clouds around the mountain top from down below in the valley... It really looked like a crown. I have also driven through clouds and it is also a lovely experience ~ hugs from the chipmunk in the cloudsLyra |
