Shadows On the Mountain The shadows on the mountain, In the ever-changing light, First conceal its grandeur And then reveal its might! It fills the sky to eastward And each morning, when I rise, I pull the drapes to see it Rise majestic, in the skies. On stormy days or foggy, When there's nothing there to see, I feel such disappointment And the day seems wrong to me. As though I need its presence, For the progress of the day. A constant reassurance, It will be there, come what may! I watch to see it outlined By the colors of the morn. It gives me inspiration And a thousand poems are born!

I love your poem about the mountains. I too have a view of mountains from my home especially of Mount Baker. I hope I don't wake up some morning to see him gone for that will mean he has blown his top and I better start running. Love, Joyce |

junemac: Thanks for your delightful comments! I'd send you a mountain to look at, if I could! Barring that, I will just have to share more mountain poetry! Betty Lou Hebert |

There's nothing quite as beautiful as the mountains. Much inspiration is born there. Well written my friend! Deb |

Betty, this was so enjoyable and through your words I felt I was sitting and watching your mountain. What a special place and gift to live so close to such majesty. Huggles, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

Betty Lou...It sure seems like lately I have been reading your beautiful poems alot. This is very lovely. A long time ago while living in California each morning my wife would look at a mountain out the living room window and she would say she was hugging her mountain each day.Enjoyed very much...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

 This poem about your beautiful mountain is so BEAUTIFULLY written, it flows as gracefully as the river along your river road! Congratulations on such a stunning piece of work. |

Betty you couldn't have written a better poem. Funny, I was about to post one about mountains. I still will as it is so different from yours. Truly a lovely read. Maggie |
