Mountains have Moods
Bouncy folk rock?
Written in Munsyari in Uttarakhand at about 3000m with views north to the 6-7000m snowy peaks, We went for a long walk under clear blue skies but just got back to Mr Kumar’s waiting car before the heavens opened and drove back down to town through torrential rain followed by snow. The storm raged for a few hours then the sun came out again on some magical mountain views.

HBD 07 Mountains have moods UK
Mountains have moods
You have to conclude
After watching them change from day to day
Mountains have moods
They smile or they brood
You'll have to arrange your plans around them anyway
One day at a time she's a fine but distant beauty
Proud and haughty Infallible
See her rise through blue skies
The pure ice maiden
Distances fading Unattainable
When she's warm she will wrap you in contentment
No resentment At your captivity
Meadows green fragrant flowers fill your senses
Mended fences Pen you happily
Mountains have moods
Subtle or crude
Catching you out off of your guard
Mountains have moods
Friendly or rude
Without a doubt you’ll take it hard
But sudden change can rearrange your perception
Self deception Is blown away
Raging storm becomes the norm, sends you reeling
Helpless feelings Cloud the day
