Towering peaks
glaciers melting
snow leopard and mountain goat
tumbling together
down the rocky slope,
plunging at chase's end
into the river
paper wind horses
winged carriers
of prayers and blessings
to earth
from the top of the world
Himalayas -
beautiful mystical
dwelling
of the gods
I long for you
We must be suffering mid-winter wander-lust...I just wrote about Mount Kilimanjaro. On my fantasy bucket-list I want to climb it;))
ReplyDeleteThe Himalayas really do sound mystical in your vivid word choices!
Yes, indeed, it would be beautiful to be able to travel there.....sigh.
ReplyDeleteA magical mythical musing!!
ReplyDeleteSomething to dream of and hold onto, stranger things have happened. :)
ReplyDeleteI too have longed to experience the Himalayas - love the playfulness of your first stanza, Sherry
ReplyDeleteHimalayas reminds me of the book The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Sharma writes of the Sages of the Himalayas who dwell in those mountains. Serene. A place where your mind is cleared.
ReplyDeleteWonderful description, Koko.
those Rockies are okay too!
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly one of your best! I love it! Mystery, mystical, magic!
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry,
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze as your heart, mind and imagination lead you on travels throughout the world.
I've never before given a moment's thought to the possibility of experiencing the Himalayas... until now. Thank you for that.
