I've Touched It's Peaks

 Summer sweetened breezes 
through Valleys filled with grass

arise to greet each morning
in this mountain sculptured pass

It's jagged rocks that tower free
I seem to know them all

like friends I join them eager
sharing dreams these inner calls

quiet I listen while strolling close
by streams that lightly sing

the birds above on air do float
without movement in their wings

silent" as a fallen wave
till soft, they touch the ground

in search of mates they gather twigs
or just gaily chirp their sounds

this place filled with such beauty
does seem to put to rest

within body tempo yearns
filling full" my inner chest

in quiet" yet warm desires
loving true what I do touch

sensing more than this around me
I feel others " lost with crutch

as this beauty seeks a rendezvous
for their hearts" their minds desires 

I could never count the moments
alone as one I stand in eyre

because for me ,these are so special
one's I've seen or touched to seek

these especially private" moments
when my mind has touched it's peaks

Touched

Thanks seren, but remember your night, is my day. as I'm fumbling around , forgetting lines, misspelling words. trying to get my brain started, Instead of hitting preview. by the way what a concept. I hit submit, and in my state, I end up doing it, six times, I still don't know if I got it right, I finally said the heck with this and I went to my emails to catch up with myself. so how is evening going for you. Hopefully better than my morning. you may have to read it again with all the changes, or not. thanks for the read,Ill get back to what is. Mantiscepter

Thank you

For choosing to highlight something I have long overlooked - NATURE! Lovely, lifting write! Bonita j. ps. Just one question - why the use of " so often. If it's for a possessive stroke why not '?

Dear John

This is awesome, I really enjoyed this immensely. Nature is the topic today, your night, and this one should be put on canvas. I honestly think this is my fave of yours. Love it, well done. Love the new pic, I always wanted green eyes, but I can't come at contacts. Love Lyz. XX
