The Horizon and Hills

The Horizon and Hills - A Pantoum

The jagged horizon , delights
the distant hills of soft gray hues
with constant contact day and night
and seem to add mystique to views.
*
The distant hills of soft gray hues,
surreal beneath the sun's last ray,
and seem to add mystique to views
as sleepy days on knees they pray.
*
Surreal beneath the sun's last ray ,
they stand in sanctuary of peace
as sleepy days on knees they pray.
The calls of birdies soon will cease.
*
They stand in sanctuary of peace,
to face another brand new day .
The calls of birdies soon will cease.
Perhaps they too are on their way .
*
To face another brand new day,
they dwindle , lost in sunset sky .
Perhaps they too are on their way.
and fly to nests , they build so high.
