Witness
I witness the monstrous beauty
of the gargantuan mountains.
Awe fails to be an adequate sensation.
Time chiseled rock make up
the grandeur of the mountain's spine.
They have seen.
Heard.
Felt.
As if divine
The seasons, reasons, our inner treasons.
They are solid but silent witness's
The altitude will never tell,
and break the allure of the majestic spell.
of the gargantuan mountains.

This absolutely killed, D-Bear. You have such a gift to explore and express the personification of nature's emotions in a way that's utterly unique and totally accessible.

Dear D,
I really enjoyed this poem. I hid the picture to imagine the view from your words. Your writing did a magnificent job of it. H🌷

Re. Witness
I have spent so many years close to the mountains, watching them closely trying to decrypt their mysteries.. they kept silent but they inspired so many poems into my heart.i still question their grandeur and splendor in hope to get some secret spilled in rhyme...
Your poem is so suggestive and thought provoking, even holding some mystery between the lines, I love it..
Stay happy always, God bless my friend

I love this. I can definitely feel the jaw dropping sight paired perfectly with the picture.
I wish I could witness this gargantuan beauty myself!

That image does look amazing, Debbie. 'Imposing' was the word I carried around with me all day here. I bet one wouldn't get a great TV signal there however, lol. I know you like mixing words that wouldn't normally belong side by side, like 'monstrous beauty' for example but this is another divine poem that works. 😊

Very "solid" case for something of wonder and beauty in nature, heh. Reminds me of the old saying, "If these four walls could talk.", but only it's a bit deeper than that. The way you perceptualize completely original spectrum of relation, and the angles you present of the endearing emotion to you are quite well-founded. Heh, anyway, thanks for sharing as always.
