Alpenglow

California Koans

 

I knelt to touch

 

the alpine heather

 

along this remote trail

 

as I created my steps through history

 

I climbed with the moon over sawtooth peaks

 

reflections upon a hidden lake

 

this secluded pool before my eyes 

 

a treasure in the wilderness

 

illuminated

I'm always amazed at the multitude of life on the mountain. So many flowers, from microscopic size to mammoth size. HIdden streams that play hide and seek, small saplings and towering 200 year old firs.... millions of acres and a pristine silence where it all seems you can hold it in the palm of your hand. Treasures indeed.

Oh how these three pieces have made me wish I was in California.. to see, hear, feel and taste what you experience.. Thankfully you write them so well, my senses can enjoy them for a moment's bliss. Excellent language and imagery in this piece. I cannot wait to read more!
