My
Heaven On Earth
The
trees whip past on both sides as their leaves of rainbow color crunch
beneath me. The variants, gold to red, paint an unmatched master
piece that surrounds me. Endless blue, speckled with fanciful clouds
backdrops this already masterful scene. The sound of tires on
pavement quickly switches to the gentle crunch of gravel under tire.
Then as the assent is begun the lowering of gears and the strain of
the motor grind against the forest's silence. The chorus of the
engine was echoed by a birds refrain and fills my heart. The
higher we climb the smells around begin to change. As gasoline and
smog being to clear the perfume of nature, the clear and natural
scent, wafts around me.
Finally, to the end we make it. The endless ocean stretches out in
its full expanse, just boasting of its grandeur. To my right and to
my left I am surrounded by the frame of fall colors, all painted in
front of a vastly endless clear sky. Hill after rolling hill stretches out before me. As the sun sinks down lower the sky lights up in a burst of beauty, taking my breath away. And as I watch, the crisp air nips at my face as
the wind tossles with my hair. The picture perfect moment of my
heaven on earth lays out before me.

This is a great blog post. I felt like I was watching a movie, and could hear the truck climbing the mountain. This must be somewhere in the Olympic Forest. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteLove it. This is so true from any beautiful hilltop on our Peninsula. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you described everything, it made me feel like I was actually there. It kept me guessing where you were/ what you were doing. I love the picture , too!
