MOUNTAIN MAJESTY
Chiseled by great glacial movement
Etched by mighty winds and rain
Stands a range of distant mountains
Sensual in their pristine grandeur
Cloud cloaked summits hiding faces
From the sting of wind blown snow
Waiting for the sun’s flirtation
Warming respite from the cold
On the slopes are verdant meadows
Crystal streams and waterfalls
Great pine forests full of wildlife
Range for bald and golden eagles
Nestled snugly in the valley
Lies a village ‘neath its slopes
Awed by nature’s supreme sculpture
Humbled ever, at its feet
