This one is for Shafali….I dreamed about mountains the other night and it made me remember this poem;
Mind Mountains
I can see mountains
Beyond the distant trees:
Monumental alps
Snow-capped and stark.
Twig and branch
And budding leaf
Obscure my view,
Soften and distort it.
The spring wind blows
And my mountains
Scud along briskly,
Vapourous and thin,
Mere horizon clouds.
But there is a world
Beyond the confines
Of my daily life,
Filled with wonders:
Mountain, lake and forest,
Desert, tundra and sea
Await my searching mind
Beyond my garden fence
And my limited thoughts.
