Mountain Storm
Gentlemen oaks usher mountaineers On Appalachian fern gold Whose fronds are lush with dreams That gather in the mossy cusp of nature’s beautician Who makes a patchwork quilt of green On rocky heads of ancient totems We emerge onto a bald God’s summit Below clouds grow restless As troops with no war Who throw electric javelins While bloodletting water Bled from the earth Whose aerial arteries Flow in mist and rain My sight blurs in flood on glasses That obscures all but light “Oh my God!” I exclaim My gem of the mountain air says, “All will be well my love.” And we arrive at our shiny metal bug

Thanks so much, my friend. Love your laughter to lightning comparison. This was based on a mountain climbing trip my wife and I took in North Carolina. We got caught in a thunderstorm on the way down. She was calm and reassured me that we would be ok.

You climbed a mountain… if I can’t toboggan down it, I’m not climbing it.

I'd probably need a helicopter to get down one these days. Thanks for the read. John

I loved the hiking trails of the Bavarian Alps. Those memories make me thankful for my two tours of duty in Germany

Your Barvarian Alps hikes would indeed make those two tours of duty some of the greatest travels in your life. My father was stationed in the Air Force in Turkey where my Mom lived with him for two years. Their road trips around Turkey together were the happiest times of their life. Thanks for sharing your experience in the service. And a salute to you for serving your country.
