Mountain Air

Mountain air tickles my senses,

and I close my eyes just to feel;

 

Gentle breeze ruffles through my hair

I take a deep breath just to heal;

 

Something about this mountain air

calms this wayward child;

 

Something about this mountain air

makes me feel restless and wild;

 

Oh, how my senses are reeling!

There is no way I can fight this feeling;

 

The scent of pine carries along on a breeze

as it gently rushes through the trees;

 

Mountain air

cleanses my weary soul;

 

I no longer feel scattered...

I feel alive and whole;

 

Mountain air,

a gift from God's might hand;

 

It sends a rush of calm

thoughout a weary land.

Did you know if you smell a pine tree it will smell like vanilla or butterscotch? No kidding!

Wonderful Cheryl. Such inspiring words to get up and go enjoy this wonderful world. I love the scent of pine, and it truly awakens the spirit and mind.

A lovely onrush of breezy lyric. You remind me here of John Denver, whose music and lyrics I do miss from time to time.
