wet around the edges
a mountain begins its ascendance
a hint of dew advances
up the road it reaches
through mist-kissed heights is
a venture proud and bold
for each step taken,
a great story that is still untold
a rise of sunny blues as the sun radiates
something unfolds within the morning hue
a burst of light illuminates
like a trail of glistening gold strew
upon the mountain's rugged face,
a tapestry of life takes place-
each rock, each tree, a testament,
to nature's strength and firmament
murmurs of boundless dreams
for hope holds fast as if
each moment a fleeting fantasy
throughout time’s relentless trials
and nature’s hues ebb and flow,
from earthy splotches to a refreshing green
as the mountain grows
and stretches far and wide
nature’s grace in every crevice
a symphony of life
