There’s nothing like taking in the sunrise from a top a mountain, or so I hope.

Upon the crag, where hand was placed
My feet had followed, strong and true
Keep climbing up, to reach the summit
So as to stand atop, take in the view.

To be there before the sun approaches
The darkness, now, slowly subsides
I must move on to reach the apex
To watch the sun then slowly rise

As it greets the morning with a smile
Warming the landscape, lighting the view
Breathless, now, I trudge ever forward
To stand on the top, to watch this with you

    this write can lend someone into many environments, not only mountain tops. Skillfully written that just glides so nicely.

    This reminds me of when I was a kid and my family would go to the mountains and watch the sunrise.

    The mountain top is indeed perfect for a morning watch, thanks Michael. You brought me there with you in this poem.

    This poem reminds me of the days when my girl and I were only dating. I’ve always been a poor man so I would have to get creative with our dates, and the sunrise from a rock on top of a mountain was the perfect romantic way to start our day.
