Rest Stop
Virginia Salter

gentle, cooling breeze swirls
places peace at each side
world’s hum surrounds
yet touches not, beyond the hearing
crow’s shadow greets me
draws my eye upward
pulls it toward snow-flecked peaks
yet no call to come
only “take in our awesomeness
against soft cerulean sky”
sharp, jagged aretes
made smooth to the heart by the moment
soothing weariness of soul

~*Sigh*~

I felt very relaxed after reading this piece Virginia.
Few words painted an entire scene.......
Makes me want to go for a drive!
Well Done!

this is well written, loved the images

Thanks, irie! And today, here, would be a lovely day for a drive. the sky is a pale morning powder blue with bits of feathery clouds and a rising amber glow above the budding trees and crow flies.

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for reading/commenting!
