snow on the mountain – v6

With greater definition

able to see the outlines

of every hill, every crevasse

the features of the mountain

shining, preening,

in the early morning light.

As if standing taller

a picture day at school

Sunday best attire

appointed, hair coiffed

ready for the portrait

an image just right.

Snow on the mountain

tallest in the state

autumn down below

October past peak

but eyes drawn to the mountain

a guardian o’er the land.

Stillness of this morning

silence as I drive

bright sun in the sky

igniting the snow, afire,

the autumn world in shadow

in the valleys below.
