Alaskan Portrait
Among the vast terrain
of willow and spruce
with background of
snow-capped mountains,
eagles soar majestically,
joining clouds in unison,
while sunshine and blue sky
welcome all to nature's
living portrait of beauty.
Scattered throughout the tundra,
and along the ribbon of roadways,
the prickly wild rose grows,
colors of yellow, pink and
deep rose among the brush,
struggling to endure the
short Alaskan summer and
trying to postpone the oncoming
harshness of winter with their
profuse display of color.
