Where Mountains Rise

Where mountains rise to awesome heights
And strange Aurora gifts the nights
With colored ribbons, twisting high
To unheard tempos in the sky,
It's there that magic seems to dwell
And casts an ancient, feral spell.

Upon some tall ledge, with a view,
We camp and watch the whole night through.
Absorbing beauty all around
And listening to hear each sound
That drifts upon the chilly air.
The cougar in his rocky lair
That screams defiance at the dark.
The coyotes howl and sometimes bark
And now and then, an eerie cry
When hunting owls go ghosting by.

We know that many share this space,
Though we may never see their face,
Or hear them passing near at hand.
Some are a wary,silent band,
But we can feel the presence there
Of all the creatures who must share
The beauty and the mystery,
Where mountains rise majestically!

this is incredibly beautiful. You have outdone yourself Betty. Bravo!

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

'Where mountains rise to awesome heights
And strange Aurora gifts the nights
With colored ribbons, twisting high
To unheard tempos in the sky,
It's there that magic seems to dwell
And casts an ancient, feral spell.'

This is one of the most melodic stanzas I've read in a long time~
A true beauty~
