PROMPT: Energy
What things give you energy?
Breath and food. But I also find movement, music, and being in a natural setting feel energizing,

Stony & Frozen [Free Verse]
Stony & Frozen:
and yet there's something
the mind loves about
snowcapped mountains.
Something calming --
Maybe it's their stillness.
Maybe it's a nature sync.
Maybe it's that one is in
a green pasture with a
pleasant breeze and
sun warming one's face
as one looks upon those
harsh and barren lands.
Maybe it's awe at the proximity
of the inhospitable -- the uninhabitable --
lands, lands that seem so close
to one's idyllically habitable lands.
(If owing more to their grandiosity
than true proximity.)

across the lake,
the snowy mountains stand

Ambiguous Spring [Free Verse]
The copse of yellow-green
trees isn't sure whether it's
Spring or Fall.
(It's Spring.)
The breeze coming off the
snowy mountains across the valley
thinks its winter.
Only the wildflowers &
some feeling I have inside
know it's Spring.

Buffeted [Free Verse]
Wind buffets the hilltop;
I lean into each step,
Bracing against the blasts.
My jacket snaps like a flag
That waves in the wind
On a tall pole.
At times, I feel light on my feet --
Disconcertingly so --
As if a few more miles per hour
Of windspeed and I'll be airborne.
I curl my toes in a futile attempt
To grab the lining of my shoes,
Shoes that aren't solidly affixed
To the ground in the first place.
The boulders on the hilltop
Channel the wind:
Speeding it up,
Swirling it in eddies, unseen,
But which attempt to swing me
About - square dance style.
I will be sore tomorrow or the next day --
Sore in my core and in my feet,
And I'll wonder why...
