So often
have I draped my limbs
across this loving mountain
that her granite
is softened by my rocking
her conifers
flattened on one side
from supporting my rest
her maples
reddening early
in anticipation
For Kerry in the Garden: HUMAN/LANDSCAPE INTERACTIONS
Talk about a Big Love! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Marian. Such a great love.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness this is good!❤️ I love the sensitivity with which this poem is penned, Marian!❤️
ReplyDeleteI see beautiful snow covered mountains from many vantage points in my city ~~~ this took my breath away.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so beautiful. I only wish I could write this way.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteYou put me there, Marian. I can just see and feel the softened hunk of granite. It also reminded me of Franklin Mountain, at the west side of El Paso, Texas. I've climbed it several times, a couple of which we took the cable car down. No cactus where you were, ours was covered with cactus.
ReplyDelete..
the windswept conifers - I like the idea of them bending because of your hug and not the wind (we get lots of wind in our mountains... :) Beautiful write.
ReplyDeleteI adore this poem, on every level. Such a grand and all-encompassing love!
ReplyDeleteA mountain of love here, Marian.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweetly passionate. I love the image of the wind rushing to adore her lover.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. This is perfect!
