Punam at RDP SATURDAY asks us to share a
story, poem, photo, painting, essay, etc.,
centered on the word ‘mountain’. Here’s my take.
Reaching high, so big and grand,
Old mountains in a silent land.
Clouds like cotton, soft and white,
Kind sunshine, golden light.
Yearning souls find peace up there,
Majestic peaks beyond compare.
Out where eagles soar and fly,
Underneath a boundless sky.
Nature’s giants, strong and tall,
Timeless beauty holds us all.
Awes us with their mighty grace,
Inspiring wonder in this place.
Near the stars, a peaceful rest,
Sleeping giants, truly blessed.

You really did a great job on this- it didn’t feel pushed at all- which is one of the main problems I always find with Acrostics. Bravo!

Maybe bc it’s my first acrostic so I was being gentle with it. 😉
Thanks, Jodi.

When Joe Walsh moved to Colorado, he experienced a moment of awe while mowing his lawn and looking at the snow-capped mountains and this inspired Rocky Mountain Way, although the lyrics are a bit deeper.
