Mountainous terrain steep <br />In the Tibetan plateau, where the <br />Sky almost <br />Touches the horizon <br />Yonder, with the <br /> <br />Mist moving up from the vale below, <br />Over the tall pine-trees and thick foliage, <br />Uniting the clouds from above <br />Naturally, and blocking the visual acuity of <br />The tired, trekking mountaineers on their <br />Arduous route down the mountain slopes, <br />In the intense heat of the rising sun, <br />Notwithstanding the many <br /> <br />Miles of shrubs and undergrowth that lie ahead, looking <br />Impossible to even the expert climber, who is momentarily <br />Relieved and excited by the mirage of an old castle <br />Appearing suddenly from nowhere, <br />Giving a ‘de ja vu’ feeling to all up there <br />Eyeing the beauty of the ancient masonry. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 7-26-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/misty-mountain-mirage-an-acrostic/
