Mountains in the Sky

A majestic range of mountains
Hues of plum, rose, and rust
hover above the terrestrial hills

cloaked in winter’s gray, brown, and white
shapes frozen in the air
over the cold, still earth
captured clouds of dust and smoke

of water and ice, become solid
colored by the master’s brush
splashed with royal blues
marching across the sky

more solid than we would think
moving to nature’s tune
dancing in the air
