Timelessness

Giant peaks reaching into azure skies
Giving dreamers a sense of timelessness
Ancient paths are created by wildlife
Drawing hikers to continue upward
Cascading falls smooth a trail of their own
Awing watchers as mist cools their faces
Glacier fed lakes sparkle in sunlight
Icy cold to those who dare take a dip
Forest left behind at the timberline
Baring ancient rock to the elements
Above the clouds stone peaks look like islands
While a carpet of clouds deceives the eye
Timeless mountains draw the heart and the soul
Where spirit can fly free to join with earth
Dreamers feel wondrous timelessness deeply
Connecting with other kindred spirits

Oooh! You give the reader so much to digest and think about when you write your nature-related poetry. This one is slightly different that what you normally give us, and I, for one, am grateful. The visions of towering peaks on the mountain and the cold on the faces of those who dare to hike it was stunning to me. You are so good with these kind of poems, Karen. Keep 'em coming!

I have to write something here.
I think the world would be a much better place if there were more people like you.
You have more respect and beauty in your heart than most existing human beings.
You're just a delight.

Loved this part...

I love to play with my visions...all have reality in them as seen through my eyes...I am glad you enjoyed this one...*BIG HUGS*

Eric
OK...you made me blush...my friends tell me even though I have lived a painfilled life I am still too naive and see things through rose tinted glasses...the thing is that I hope for the best from people and nature never deceives and is always timeless...thank you, so much for the compliment...*BIG HUGS*

Wow, just discovered your "Timelessness", dear Karen, casually diving into past postings.

This is simply outstandingly beautiful and deserves another round. I love your own approach to "timelessness".


Where have you gone, beautiful soul, you are sorely missed here. Please come back soon!

Love and hugs.
