- Measure of Reach -

Such beauty held within man's grasp,

tinted time framed for your sight,

- measure of reach touched,

...by those who seek distant song -

Upon storms pane, we sift through mounted winds,

glancing atop fallen timbers, we watch,

- along walls of prelude season, sounds disburse -

Listen, as earth rolls her silent tongue -

Beauty - tinted time framed for sight
a measure of reach - touched.

How utterly lovely.

I was enchanted with this magical piece that moves and billows
like a breeze over mountain glens or a sandy beach.

Your last lines just feel good in the mouth with the oral and sound words used. An interesting take on this prompt.
A pleasure to read and enjoy. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

Such masterful diction, to complement this pensive poetic gem. A most enviable heart's labor poet, well done.
