Misty Mountain Mirage


Mountainous terrain steep

In the Tibetan plateau, where the

Sky almost

Touches the horizon

Yonder, with the

Mist moving up from the vale below,

Over the tall pine-trees and thick foliage,

Uniting the clouds from above

Naturally, and blocking the visual acuity of

The tired, trekking mountaineers on their

Arduous route down the mountain slopes,

In the intense heat of the rising sun,

Notwithstanding the many

Miles of shrubs and undergrowth that lie ahead, looking

Impossible to even the expert climber, who is momentarily

Relieved and excited by the mirage of an old castle

Appearing suddenly from nowhere,

Giving a ‘de ja vu’ feeling to all up there

Eyeing the beauty of the ancient masonry.
