Mountain Memory by Mitchel Montagna

Mountain Memory

 

The sun streamed like a waterfall
Ferns lit up in the glare
Needles sparked along the fields
that breathed the mountain air

Close upon a strand of flame
these eyes of silver blue
On a face so clear with thought
emotion simmered through

She spoke of the city's circumstances
Of gloomy, narrow skies
She gazed up at the mountain sun
till tears bloomed in her eyes

A later dive with elegance
in rivers cooled by night
A body blurred and flowing free
through starry pools of light

As laurels lined up on the shore
time floated her downstream  
In gentle fog, she drifted on
from earth into a dream
