folks flock to your kingdom
from all over the world
they wander through your flesh
open to your presence
drink of your spirit
bodies are strengthened
eyes brighten
as stars paint the night
folks sleep deeply after a day in your glory
tis a holy sojourn
my sense
we are kindred
of the same descent

Excellent words which bring the pictures to glorious life.
ReplyDeleteAnd as with any grand symphony,decending notes are followed by rising notes.
ReplyDeleteNot only was I seeing the earth as the kingdom, I was seeing the soul as the kingdom too.
Awesome photos! And your words accentuate them giving them more meaning.
ReplyDeletePretty words and pretty photos. I love the mountains.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty...love this!
ReplyDeleteNatural Moments gave me the word I was looking for: a symphony. The light in the first photo is so tender.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent mountains and powerful words. It must be very humbling to stand in a wonderful landscape like this!
ReplyDeleteI have left you a message on your previous post too. I had to leave a message there as well. Just Beautiful!
See you again soon Tammie.;)

True and beautiful words, these.
ReplyDeleteLovely words, and fabulous images.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and color of the top photograph.
ReplyDeleteGreat line:
they wander through your flesh...
...love those craggy mountaintops......beautiful and strong. I think I would soak something up from that land too.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely poem, and what gorgeous photos. I can almost smell the fall mountain air.
ReplyDeleteTammie--
ReplyDeleteThese photos, of the same range from different perspectives, I'm assuming, are glorious. And your poem speaks to the work of my heart-mind these days...of accepting all that is given as gift.
Truly lovely. Thank you!
Hi Tammie, you put this 'kingdom' in good perspective with your poem. It helps to remember how we appreciated the beautiful places when we visited.
ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to wake up to this every morning. We haven't been in any U.S. mountains this year. I guess we made up for that with the Alps and the Pyrennes of Europe. Last year we did the Rockies and have been to yours before.
I want to bask in the beauty, if only for the moment. Your photo's dance to the words you write. Love and Light, Nina P.
ReplyDelete.. the rain descends - -
