Baker's Dozen prompt scenery


 
 
 
The Mountain 

Around a curve a mountain sat
A curtain blocking out the sky
Stark gray

Green tint upon a closer look
Houses huddled on the hillside
Lonesome  

In the foreground lacy green trees
march up gravelly embankment.
Cheery 

Baby blue sky peeks over top
Wisps of white crest like frothy waves
Pristine
 
Last spring snow clings to crevices
White icing dribbled on bundt cake
Pleasing

Slate and copper mark the mountain
Looking bold and brave, and daunting
Ageless

So much beauty saddens the soul
I hop into the car, drive home
Regrets

But the valley holds warmth and peace
Safety and bustle of living
Friendship
