Above the wind-tossed forest,
Upon a craggy peak,
Just the moon for company,
There lies the peace I seek.
Where people seldom wander
And silence reigns supreme,
Except for distant thunder
And soaring eagle's scream.
Sitting there in solitude,
I watch the moonlight wane,
Healing fissures in my soul,
Till I come back again.
These solitary places
Have special therapy,
Rejuvenating spirits,
With nature's majesty!

Your poetry is fast becoming a favorite of mine!

Just see how virtue repays you, you turn and someone betrays you
Betray him first, and the game's reversed...

we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

Thank you Joyce. You're right about the solitary places being threatened. At least the ones close enough to be attainable.

How well you write of the therapy offered... and how often I've drunk from nature's prescription. *S* Well done!
