Cascade Song
On the barren lava soil,
Windswept pines stretch out their arms,
Gnarled white bones against the sky.
Mountain wears majestic white
Glacier robes that flow between
Buttress ridges of black rock.
Rushing rivers tumble down
To the valley, where blue lakes
Greet like eyes in seas of green.
Written in summer 2016 on the slopes of Mt. Hood
