Mountain Spirits

The voice of singing mountain stream
While filling me with thoughts serene
And tumbling down its rocky path
Tells little of the ancient wrath

A time when glaciers filled this land
To burn the earth with scaring brand
And flatten mountains in its wake
As rivers fled before its quake

Mountain spirits remember still
Shed tears in streams that run downhill
To scream their torment in the spring
When waking from dreams winter bring

I sit in mountain forest green
Caressed by crystal running stream
Sensing spirits surrounding me
Sharing visions that I might see

Evolution is messy...
But the end result is magnificent!

Liked your work.

Thank you so much for sharing your visions.

The cadence of your poem was like the rhythmic flow of a mountain stream.

Beautifully expressed and very spiritual.

Love & Mountain Spirits,
