solo...
the cool crisp mountain air swells in my lungs
with each joyful breath...in and out.
Rays from a potent alpine sun sear my face and legs
yet gently warm my heart and soul...
I feel so very much "at home"...so serene and at peace
and so totally in "the moment"
simply
lying on a grassy alm surrounded by clusters of alpenrose
and
thoughts of fragile forget-me-nots.
I listen to the mountains speak...and I think and wonder...
Ancient cow bells clang lazily in the distance...
and muffled voices and faraway song
mull around in my mind
as my head rests propped up on my backpack pillow.
Snow peaked mountain sentinels...wise with time
surround me.
A vast and glorious azure sky is canopied over my head.
Each tenderly yet protectively
keeps watch over my little universe
and
blankets me in sweet, sweet dreams.
Mmmm...
in remembering Switzerland...
there is oooh, so very much
to cherish...for a lifetime of forevers.
Happy "Blooming Tuesday"...
May many pleasant memories blossom for you this day.
