The weeks seemed to just drag by
Alone at last am I
The mountains and the sky
What more could one ask for
To be so close to Heaven's doors
My tent and I, at last stand high
Close to where the water rolls by
Peace at last, where I can thrive
Alone in the mountains
To be closer to God's doors
Quiet on the mountains' peaks
Only the birds and animals now speak
One can find comfort here
All of God's beauty is everywhere
To be close to God in His rocking chair
To look up into God's sky at night
Saying one's prayers in His sight
The closeness one can share
So close to heaven up here
To be so close to Someone who cares

I liked that the rhyming wasn't in my faces and that it added to the flow rather than detracted. I also liked your views of being alone in the mountains and the way you have connected it so beautifully to your faith. Cheers

I loved the atmosphere you created in this poem being one with the world and thanking God. The world can be a very beautiful place that leaves us full of wonderment. I liked the imagery in this poem- especially the way you described the sky. Best of luck in the contest.

a wonderful write! this is such an enjoyable read. i have never been camping in the mountain s but this sure
reminds me of the nights i spent out in the woods when the only light you could see was the stars and the flickering of the campfire, the only sounds were nature, Gods voice.. when it felt you were enfolded in Gods palm and caressed by the breeze~His breath. thank you for sharing your talent with us. keep writing poet! God bless you always

You have described a beautiful setting where nature, man and God commune. This poem spoke to my heart to be still and appreciate nature and to let my spirit be refreshed in the presence of my Creator. The mountians are majestic, and close to Heaven's doors is an excellent way to express its' awesomeness. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem.

"Alone at last am I
The mountains and the sky
What more could one ask for
To be so close to Heaven's doors"

This is exceptionally and beautifully written with wonderful imagery and flow. I lived in the mountains for awhile and wish I were there now. As this poem reflects so well, being there is to be surrounded by peach and serenity. You are quite talented and wield that golden quill with much skill. Surely, this will take the GOLD!
Luv & hugs, BonnieQ

There is a wonderful serenity written in this poem. A couple of Summer's ago I visited Phoenix, Arizona. The mountains were glorious. I was at the foot of the mountain and felt such peace. I cannot imagine being atop the mountain. Wonderful poetry here, dear mac. I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love Always ♥

A beautiful, peaceful poem. I have always talked to animals, birds. I used to tease birds, by whistling and trying to copy what they were saying or singing. Try it sometime if you haven't already. It's a lot of fun.
