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
