Mountain Time

Mountain Times

It is something so special
To reach a mountain's peak
So close to sky we get quiet
And just don't wish to speak

If we sit on the warm rocks
Take in the incredible view
Or we trudge through deep snow
Both a pleasure for me and you

Nowadays I dream of a snow-walk
While chair lift moves you uphill
With boots and hands in the pockets
I watch your snowboarding thrill

So easy you race down the slopes
A powdery tail following you
My hands now get a release
After fingers crossed all through

You wish winter lasts longer
But I already focus on Spring
When snow caps subside and waters
Playfully bounce over everything

In any season of the year
I am aware that we both love
The mountains in all their beauty
And we respect the dangers thereof

Let us be grateful for seasons
For mountains, forest and sea
God grants a world so unique
Inspiration for you and me

PS, I really love the spirit of this piece... playful yet with a wink at nature's dangerous side. Lovely put... two people with different likes living together. Nice work.

As usual my friend you write well of Nature out of the love you have for its wonders. Winter is beautiful but for me just a tad COLD! I too yearn for the warmth and rebirth of Spring.

Bless you,

As always Ursula your poem is outstanding and a beautiful winter's read, though no snow here on Portland.

No snow here in the lower country too, Andrew, but still I can see the Alps from a far and they are all white down to the valleys. So I can still dream.... Thank you! Ursula xx

damn....I live in a big city, some several km away from the Straits of Melaka....the only "mountains" we got are basically limestone hills. This poem definitely captures the wanderlust and envy I feel whenever I look at the horizon...and I see them there.

Thanks for commenting CR, it's much appreciated. So when you feel envy in regards of the mountains, I do feel so when I dream of the sea... Each one is gifted with some special beauty of nature and at the same time dreaming of some beauty out of reach. Ulla xx

I know those mountains of which you write, Ulla, I have climbed them as well. They are themost beautiful in the world. Love this high spirited poem!
