#PerceptionPalette
I stood before the sunburned mountain
my eyes watered, vision blurred
the intensity so bright, but
I could not turn away
The colors golden, bronze
shades of magenta, violet and lavender
against the coarse, hard and jagged stone
stirred my heart and called my name
“Come and climb my winding paths”
I Feel the heat
pouring through the soles of my
hiking boots striding higher and higher
And I rise to the summit into the glow
part of the glorious moment
day becoming night
