  The mountain answered me

It clearly touches in the sky.
This towering mountain reaching high,
A granite grey and crowned in white.
White clouds round snow of awesome sight.

And there I stood beneath its crown
The smallest speck of quilted brown.
Inspired by the climbing sun.
Turning grey to a golds homespun.

And humbleness usurp my mood
Surrounded me with solitude.
Demeaned my space as out of place.
This grandeur of heavenly grace.

I felt a stranger passing by.
Just like a camera, just an eye.
Taking in the passing splendor.
In the fullness of surrender.

So I cupped my hands and screamed hello
And I was answered, by the echo.

"In the fullness of surrender"

Isn't surrender freeing? You've painted the mountain with the colours of reverance...so graciously expressed.

My heart did pound and almost stop
While up there on the mountain top
The splendor grabbed me in embrace
Just as your poems lovely grace

Wonderful vision from down here!
Love ya
