Life

through the majestic purple mountains

through the expanse of valleys they surround

through the running  crystal clear streams

in the green meadows that turn gold
in the setting sun

is an atonement of love
we perceive.

But is  the passing of every

cherished second                                          

never to be felt again                                                         

                                                          
Is  search for a                                   
perfect trail
of an age that passes
with each unique treasured  moment
of the mortal discovery we know as life.
