IN THE PRESENCE OF A MOUNTAIN
A mountain commands space
and demands looking.
in any weather
but cover it with snow
and it gains a presence
that seems to go
beyond its size.
Mount Washington
is such a mountain.
Those of us who live close
look for the first snow
which always melts
but there are more
snows
and finally
a jewel
There are complaints
that Mount Washington
is often
cloud covered
which it is
But that too is a characteristic of a large mountain (or a large body of water!)
Their presence can command the clouds!

Imagine living
in the presence of such a mountain,
close of far,
To feel its power
To experience its changes
daily...
If you can't live near a mountain,
just visiting will do!
