Affluent Mountainsides
November 25, 2008
Hot rays from sun to skin
Burning flesh asks for rest
Winding paths mingle and separate
Discover a boulder, i perch
Wait for strains of climbing to recede
As mountainous aromas fill my lungs
Soothing, as a cup of tea
Stand and push on
Hear the crackling splendor
Leaves, breaking from weight
Foliage turns
From greenbacks
To gold
To rubies
To topaz
An amorous bliss

This beautiful poem made me want to sit on a mountainside and breathe in the air.

This poem was beautiful! I felt like I was perched beside the author on her boulder soaking up the rays. I am anxious to read more from this author.
