The blue sky blends into the background of straw colored mountains
Flicks of white snow struggle against melting on the slopes
It is extremely desolate
Beautiful and yet an urgency not to be alone on the road
Praying the vehicle makes every winding turn
And yet, the beauty of it all, mesmerizing
It is so peaceful, and sings me a lullaby in silence
Driving toward the azure sky, as it nestles into a crook and valley
My goal to stay awake and enjoy natures beauty
It would be a shame to slip down a slope
Though the scenery is hypnotizing me
Never to tell anyone of the beauty I have witnessed

Enjoyed your take on the prompt. Reminded me of both the pleasure of fine scenery as well as the nerve-wracking feelings occurring when one decides to travel in a car prone to breakdown. "My goal to stay awake and enjoy natures beauty," wonderful line to great challenge response! cheers
ReplyDeleteA thought provoking poem of the dangers in such beauty, and that is the balance of nature. Well written.

We're aborbed into the horizon of this photograph -- the hills and the road pull us toward an unseen point. Bueaty and the natural landscape is always accompanied by danger -- and you caught that well.
ReplyDeleteYou witnessed it well...and it has been recieved here.
ReplyDeleteGlynn, Anita and Dustus. I have tried to make it a point to visit everyone's site by tonight. Thank you for visiting mine and leaving kind words. You are all an inspiration to me

Your poem is so beautiful and describes the photo so well. Staying awake while viewing such lovely scenery is for sure sometimes difficult.
ReplyDeleteDepths of danger lurks beyond the open road, often hidden by her beauty, love the reminders.

ReplyDeletea lovely poem full of beauty and peace - happy one shoot!
ReplyDeleteGood take on the hypnotic and subtly dangerous quality of anything repeated infinitely, even the beauty and freedom of the road.
