High above trees and terrian,
looking over this vast place.
Peace showers down,
nothing here, not a sound.
Clouds above and dirt below,
hold fast my need to be,
above this sea of blue, red and green,
right here, standing with me.
Thoughts fade, breathing your air,
feeling your grasp, tender on my skin.
Smelling leaves, fresh under foot,
I hold dear, that you're near,
right where I need you to be.
This is nice, the way it balances the dizziness of heights with the solid presence of someone grounding.
ReplyDelete"Peace showers down" - how lovely, and apt. I think too often we're looking for peace to grow from the ground up. Your poem is delicious, restful - and the place you describe, just the sort of place I go to for peaceful moments.
