Oh Mountain Blue
By Nevaeh Hauck
An oasis of viridescent trees swaying back and forth guarding
the innocence that is the old mountain.
Snow sits on its hightop watching overtime as people
admire the significant beauty it holds up high.
Vivid eyes watching the water as it hits the shoreline wiping
out the varied rocks that it has washed up before a million times already.
The sun sets and the wind carries the sounds of owls throughout the tall trees, a serene
nostalgic sound that repeats until the sounds of the morning doves take over.
When the full moon comes out after spinning around, it settles to take its night watch,
thousands upon millions of scattered glowing angels staring down
taking in the breathless landscape that appeals to the darkness.
The mountain still stands not aware of its own masterpiece.
A family of hungry wolves wander on the steep dirty hills looking for
food to feed their starvation that dries
their mouths on the full moon night.
The dazzling reflection hits their eyes as the sleepy moon
casts million little specks of sparkle so pure it could be diamonds
across the pacific lake while eating berries that the mountain
has supplied to them to feed the
families who will watch the mountains for
the next century.
The sun wakes up painting the vast sky colors from pink
to orange across the whole sky.
The mountain could never match these colors nor does it know how too.
It’s too beautiful it is by itself, how its helped every beating heart and how it
stands out with every little thing that
calls it home.
