Francine Roberts Poet Rubaiyat

A Most Majestic View

The sapphire blue of the sky
Beyond the mountains, reaching high,
Is mirrored in the lake below.
A serene view to the beholder's eye.

An abundance of blooms surround
The mirrored lake, so still and sound.
The tranquil scene invites us stay.
A most meditative place we've found.

Majestic beauty God has created,
Free for all, not privately gated.
Relax here and give nature praise.
Free your soul to feel elated.
