The Alps

Water flowing down the river
The sound of it, louder than you think
Snaking down, through the peaceful mountains
Into the deep ravine
Looking up, snow-capped peaks
Dot the horizon
The source of this powerful flow
With trees glittering the base of these towering giants
The rolling hills give way for green trees and meadows
housing birds and butterflies
Protecting them from this icy cold air
A Cabin in the distance
Smoke billowing from the chimney
A golden glow from within,
Signs of life in this unforgiving place
From rugged mountain tops to green pastures
This place fills me with calm and space to breathe
A place of endless beauty
A place of endless serenity
