Mountain Memory by Mitchel Montagna

Julio M


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
