awestruck by these majestic mountains
and the serenade of crystal clear waters
tumbling over rocks in crisp wild rivers
and the exhilaration of a freshened breeze
wafting through timeless emerald forests
I find peace wandering these mountains
my searching spirit slips along its rivers
spellbound by the vastness of its forests
its ancient secrets whisper on the breeze
echoing the treetops like songs of sages
to resonate forever my beating heart
