Breathe they told me, breathe in deep

Take in the mountain air with greed

In this place of magic where spirit and life meet

Your eyes must see and never close for sleep


Pink, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown

A place that sings with life yet makes no sound

With unique and diverse scenery, it will always astound

That sweet mountain stream, music in my ears


The sun with blazing fire shines on the land

The gentle desert rain brings nourishment to plants

A beauty unknown that only ghosts of past understand

Through long years and centuries the mountains did stand


The day answers only to the night's loving call

The wind kisses the tops of the trees, so tall

As the great New Mexican sun begins to sink

The Sandia Mountains welcome a blanket of pink
So this is a change from my usual dark poetry. I am passionate about where I live and I absolutely love the Sandia Mountains. I wrote this about them because they are absolutely beautiful! I hope you like it.
