The hills of Los Altos is like the town’s north star
Sublimely beautiful, yet always far away
Trees appear as grass
Rocks appear as pebbles
Next to the grandiose beauty of the hills
Los Altos - in english The Hills
But in arrogance, the city stands alone on the flats
The hills loom over Los Altos
Present yet ignored
The mountains watch, waiting
Climbing the hills, greeted by mansions on either sides
Mansions turn to trees, summer sun to bitter wind
The sound of cars replaced with natural ambience
Emerging to the top, two valleys are seen;
Two worlds
In front is a valley of trees and wildlife
Left behind is the landscape of concrete and commotion
The trail - the meeting of two worlds
A creation of man in permission of nature
Presence of mind,
Yet peace and tranquillity
I really liked the way you built the way the hills looked and felt to you, making it seem sort of larger than life even though we see them every day. My favorite line is "The trail- the meeting of two worlds" because it sounds like so much more than just a simple trail. Your use of descriptive words also helps bring out the way you try to emphasize the hills.
