Beside
the riverbanks early spring fields stretch in the dawn
Gently
caressing the base of distant hills rising with the day
Early
morning sunlight creeps across hues of green and brown
Casting
shadows in the earth and sparkling with dew
Whilst
on the horizon, shrouded still in winter blankets
The
tips of mighty mountains peer down upon the valley
Dominating
the skyline providing a boundary for their realm
Walls
of ice line the path like clansmen protecting their chief
Sentinels
standing firm in the cold mountain air of the highlands
Guarding
the black chasm that cuts through the landscape
Slicing
it’s path ever upwards towards the distant frozen peak
Gazing down icily as the highland glen begins another perfect day
