Transported to a magical place

Swept away upon the wind

The grand Rocky Mountains lay before you

Infinite blue skies highlighted with delicate clouds

Breath taking views span seemingly forever

Tingling sensations run from head to toe

Butterflies swirl inside your stomach

This is a place that embraces you

Safety and serenity

Pines, spruces, aspens

As your gaze passes over them

You remember seeing them in

Their different moments

From season to season

The pines and spruces never changing

Standing strong to the snow, holding themselves proud

Aspens

Golden aspens, rustling

Competing with the mountain streams

For your ear’s attention

Thunderstorms

Wild flowers

The sweet smell of sage after a rain shower

High mountain peaks

Trickling streams

Clear starry nights

Moonrises

Sunsets

All above the silhouetted peaks

Song birds

Wildlife of all kinds

Dirt roads that you, the explorer,

sail upon seeking to capture the hidden mysteries of the mountains

Memories

Sensations that you shall cherish more than diamonds and gold

It is your Colorado
