Notes About The Poem

Yosemite's Beauty

Yosemite enchants us with her beauty,
And throngs take two-dimensional pictures
To fill 8x10 frames and social sites.

She speaks with water and light, but only
iPhones listen – for few sit quietly 
To hear her murmurs of mystic meaning.

She remains but a photo-op and her
Spirit breaks – she pleads, ‘Hear me, please!’ as
Granite-rim tears smear her mascara.
