Mountain Scenes

Hallow in the mountains
high mountains on every side
tall pine trees standing guard
snow falling lightly

Sun going down over the mountains
red burning sky
mountain tops appear on fire

Clear starlit night
moonlight dancing on the snow
flickering light from the fire
pushing the darkness back

Scenes I see as I sit
on my cabin porch
gently rocking in my chair
lulled by the sight to sleep
