Pristine and Pure
Pristine and Pure
The winding road led to a chasm deep
below a cliff that proudly shows the view...
a silken, blue-green lake, lays like a gem
of opulence embedded in the rim
of tall, lush evergreens that now adorn
the natural setting so pristine and pure.
Within, the lovely birds exult their home
with calls and songs that flow so tunefully,
while hawks shriek out in tones of mockery,
their impetus to find and capture prey.
Upon this cliff I share in nature's joy;
vicarious, my thrill of standing here.
