Mountains,
sky,
and water
scheme together.
They whisper
their incantation
that rises with the sun,
envelops me like the mist
roused from its rest,
rolling along the water,
ascending
as dawn draws it
to the clouds.
The earth inhales...exhales.
Its spell is cast--
the beguiling look
of a lover waking,
smiling,
reaching,
whispering,
"Stay..."
DA COUNT
Yeah, I actually got up before dawn to take these pictures while I was in Washington. Me, the girl who hates mornings. It was worth it. Just.so.gorgeous.
