Mexico Poem

This is a poem I wrote last year in Mexico. I need help with an end for it!


The mountains in the distance
are framed by pale grey skies
with hazy fog entwined between the peaks

The slopes are colored
with a dark green hue
obscured, with only a hint
of where they end
and where the rest begins

In the foreground trees are standing
further covering up the mountains
and their majesty

Birds are swooping
diving amongst the boughs
dancing
in a gentle breath of wind

The air is fresh, invigorating, cool
laced with smells that
drift from flowers
sweet
like honey on the wind

The sounds I hear are perhaps
the most enchanting aspect of them all
the soft whirring of insect wings
the wind rustling through the trees
the joyful calling of the birds
as they dance among the leaves
