pine-scented gusts
whiplash a cheek
blunting sensation

toes dipped in icy,
scintillating brook,
tickled to divine numbness

flaming, autumn leaves
under a hesitating foot
scrunched in final release

ominous clouds shrouding
questioning peaks,
silent envoys, indubitable

a path to a waterfall
frosty mist descends
lingering, prophetic

ah, only to be back again.....

As someone who's lived his whole life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains and loved them just as long, I appreciate this. I love autumn in my state...as beautiful as this poem.
Thanks for this.

soul drifter - now I envy you....

I love the mountains, I could live there all the time. The most incredible beauty, balanced by the harshest environment, especially in winter time. Thank you.

Sharksbean - thank you for reading and commenting.
