In My Thoughts

High atop a mountain,
Where eagles rule the sky,
To witness this creation,
Of beauty, undenied.

The strong and raging rivers,
The lakes of emerald green,
The snow capped peaks of jagged rock,
A silent, sweet serene.

To gaze upon the distant life,
Of the valley down below,
One ponders insignificance,
In this, our earthly role.

And yet, through friends as true as you,
One finds a sense of peace.
To know these ties which bind us,
Are never to decease.

Now as I watch the setting sun,
For words, I’m at a loss.
For now it’s all come down to me,
And you…..within my thoughts.

Marvelous imagery, my dear. It paints a lovely picture of you. I could only hope that someday someone will think as well of me.

Alwye, thank you very much!

DE, thank you as well, for your kind words. I must admit though, this one was for you.

This was a very beautiful poem. The rythym and rhyme really work well.

I enjoyed this very much, it made me think of a dear friend of mine who I am miles away from now. Beautiful scenes you created.

Lost Dreamer, I am very glad you enjoyed it! And if it made you think of someone dear to you that is far away, it served it's purpose. What a wonderful compliment.
