Rita Lopez Poet Free verse

Fortress

Beyond the jungle of the evergreens 
Were metal points in the sky 
that surpassed the highest peaks 

The tones of the structure
Were of grays, 
Browns, 
And creams 

Multi-layered with window frames,
Two outer concrete figures,
And a brown door with a pearl-like handle 
That was envisioned by dreams 

This mystic gingerbread-like
Fortress had no visible road to proceed 
It seemed it liked its seclusion
Not even a sight of living figurines 
But what kept it company were the critters
That hid among the trees and stream 

Trees traced of piney, woodsy, subtle with a sweet scent
Was among the light breeze 
The stream was cloud-like flowing 
With its own flow-like routine 
The water was so fresh it had an earthy aroma, 
With natural minerals in between 
After breakfast the squirrels and deer would
Watch the blue skies as they gleam 

Though you may not see the fortress
While diving as it seems 
You can try to find its hiding spot
Among the peaks between the trees
