PETUNIA PURPLE

PETUNIA PURPLE

My ancient mountains

Embracing valley

Kissed with haze

Mottled with gray wash within their folds

Yet today the sun’s fire burnt the film

That clouded their grandeur

My mountains flaunt a green carpet

Blue aquamarine hues in the distance

Spellbound and lucid

They scintillate in the sun’s luster

Alas, at dusk, they boast a petunia purple

Author's Note

I felt a need to show off my APPALACHIAN Mountains after the fiery haze....
"BRIDGES END" will continue....
Thank you for reading!

A lovely rendering of purple mountain's
in all its Appalachian splendour
your words paint a royal reckoning
of their beauty ...and deep appreciation
of nature to behold..

I've been up a few mountains and they signify the power and beauty of nature. From grey to aqua too petunia purple, your words make every hue feel so magical. Mountains are the clouds' abode, they kiss the sky and the sun and fill us with such deep awe. Such a beautiful read this was....

Lovely:)
