The Mountains Speak to Me

Linking with Imaginary Gardens for Hannah's "Transforming with Nature's Wonders" prompt.
Take a look and join in.

The Mountains Speak to Me,

Hush city
Let my heart follow where it will
to the tallest mountains and the river's rill
You see
my soul has already wed nature's call
where feet may wander and may also fall
like lonely hearts that search the shore
and always leave wanting more
Sshhhh
no city block can fill the void
nor lure me in to it's inner noise
for I was betrothed at a tender time
to take a path that leads to a mountain pine
where the sky reins and trees abound
a place where birds follow and know the sound
hush
can you hear it?
I can.......

  11. ...river's rill - betrothed - hush. Beautiful ! I walk mountain paths quite often and I connected with this poem - I also love NYC - but only as a vacation destination. Mountains are my home now.

  12. Let my heart follow where it will
    to the tallest mountains and the river's rill

    How nice to play host and to let the heart take its own course.

  14. Oh Carrie, I like this one. My favorite line is "I was betrothed at a tender time" as it applied to my first marriage. But we survived 13 years before parting. Plenty of time for Mountain Walks.
