Mountain Escape

This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

Image by Kevin from The Beginning at Last

Through nature’s respite, I seek the trees

Out in the mountains, now I can breathe

Away from the hustles of life’s daily grind

A break to unwind and refresh my mind

Seeking inspiration, to create things anew

To find my motivation, the calling is true

This untamed vast expanse, a work of art

The beauty of nature, filling my heart

Come away with me, find sweet release

All your worries and cares now cease

Leave behind the noise for a day

Preserve my peace, in the mountains away

Comfort and solace, in the stillness deep

My burdens are free, my soul to keep

Sometimes we just need to get away from it all.

  2. Sounds like a perfect day and Kevin’s image surreal … I know of no-place like what you have beautifully described, so … count me in for another mountain adventure; but I’m going to make a huge fit when we have to leave (lol)! 🙂

    • Let’s go find it, together! 😊 And yes, I think I’ll be sad when we have to leave too lol!! And there may not be an exact match, maybe we have to travel through different realms to find that level of peace 😆 but I’m sure if there’s somewhere where at least there’s nature’s beauty and limited people, that would be a good place to start! ❤️

    • Me too! 😂 Haha, I actually wrote this poem before I posted my break post, meanwhile…I keep coming up with ideas to write so, I guess the break is when I run out of ideas finally 😆
      And thank you so very much! 🙏 appreciate that 😊

  10. Beautiful, Laura. I love this part,
    “The beauty of nature, filling my heart
    Come away with me, find sweet release
    All your worries and cares now cease
    Leave behind the noise for a day
    Preserve my peace, in the mountains away
    Comfort and solace, in the stillness deep
    My burdens are free, my soul to keep.”
    YES and YES. 🙌🏼

      • I know, it’s kind of hard for you guys to take breaks. It’s great to take care of others, but self-care is difficult in your line of work. But like we say in the Army, “you need to take a knee and drink water” once in a while to survive.

      • Thanks for that 🙏 so appreciated, and yes it is very important to have self-care at the forefront. And I do need to hydrate more, even now. Thanks for the reminder and your wise words of wisdom! 😊

  11. Here, in Kyrgyzstan, there are a lot of mountains; but I’ve only visited them once.

    I’ve always been attracted to the story of Abraham slaughtering the ram, or goat; whatever it was, after the angel held back his hand from Isaac.

    I really want to kill something in the mountains one day with nothing but a knife.

  12. What healing, soothing poem you wrote ❤ Loved every bit of it, simply felt like my brain is heaving a rest in the rays of the golden sunrise among the mountains ❤
