Lady of the Mountain High Sun In a light that does not greet All eyes, nor ayes, for When those who live for themselves Feign sleep, to slumber one minute more, Who will miss this wake in their own wake, She arises. The last of the evening stars are fading Into a high blue twilight of morn, Turning purple With age of hours, Her time is now, to greet, to greet For low in creeps sun toward horizon’s skies And she, first to see blendings Of purple to lavender then pinkening so With gold a rim of gilt in shine And breath is caught upon an edge, For the green begin of it glimpsed itself, Then in sudden reticent, ran, Finding refuge in her eyes… And lodged itself for another day. The smile is there upon her lips, Sun now in rise, winking in glory, beginning its cross, As high from the mount our Lady revels, Thirsting for the white of day In which all shall glory Indeed. Sacred air, rarified, oh to sense such pure, And delve in light harmoniously, Watching ice crystals become droplets Of liquefied colorful curves in sky, But holding on to the white of a Snow-dropped flower in begin. Indeed. First greeting of day carries this Lady along Mountain rim in ring of sound, and chime, Tibetan bells sounding distantly, as in Rising high to greet the light… They swell their Welcome, welcome… With ringing dwelling, echoing among valleys snowdrops, Rising again, then laying among The green of high spring, and lamb’s song. She is there, in rarified air, Our Lady Of the Mountain High Sun… For she sends it on for all who might greet dawn, Then will rest in the light Of all mountains, on high. She awaits the shadows in light. |

Oh Karilea... I hear it... that slight whistling breeze, that telling tale wind that with he rise of sun whispers to "The Lady" beautiful! M  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. (by Virginia Woolf) |

I'm saving this... to read again and again on gloomy mornings and dark days... for with your words, I need never again be without sunrise. *S* Excellent work, dear lady! *S* |

I pulled out of Pierre, SD, one morning about 4:30. Upon the eastern horizon was a bank of clouds with a horizontal seam in them. I watched the rays of the breaking sun shine up through the seam, then walk down the clouds to earth as the day opened. it was one of the "cathedral" experiences of my life. Thank you for bringing it back to life. Wonderfully written, Karilea. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Karilea...This made me think of Mountain High...a ski place in Wrightwood. I have never been there in dawns light, but it could not be as beautiful as your words here. I may have to find out.  |

Dwelleth here see shadows dreams same playing loops differntal speeds faster think so slowing replays stills alll Tis not body entering though follows shimmering Soulstrings glide muscial footpaths till all is word midst dancing mongst words images roses blooming in snow ever had your feet gently warmed by melting snow or inhaled so long eternity ponders begins looked downand adjusted every singfle thing from microscope to telescope wink your eye All is there All surrounds All is pregnantly awaiting a single word or simple song Tis truly an untruth when said "because it's there. it's what lies there everlasting some csll Shangrila some Earth's last Heaven others mountain touching sky names are that swallowed in time exists thee here a closer touch to the will Divine where no eartly rules apply surrounded only manifest prayer spirit alive breathe deep long long twilight you are closer to stars then ere dreamed boldly touching base of HIS FIRMAMENT enter in feel sound hear light words dance echoing 'mongst the mountaintops but only if they are chosen just right and now Sunshine clears fog deep residing long lingering breath of dawn to carve away the gray this moutain has beenb hidden in so long solitude no judgemenet nor duress rise as you like speak thy mind complete the roses continue blooming in snow for once breathe sweet air rarified purely clean free freeing and all absolutely unimpaired in fact growing Thy mirror polished awaits no rush to time you exited Man's time at the final climb Welcome to the vision of the world Where rainbow touches earth gentlest |
