summer trip out west
when rockies lift their heads high
~ jaws drop in tandem

Craggy snow-capped crowns,

                             Skirting skyline’s golden hue.

                           Windswept clouds, your gowns....

On the Rockies,
on the Kilimanjaro,
on the Himalayas,
and even on the
Everest.
Sojourn wherever
you please,
my desperation 
will surely
find you....

O Canada my home and native land
So proud of my country with vistas so grand
Prejudiced yes
Beauty obsessed
Amazed by our own beautiful Rockies we stand...

I stand for the underdog.
But standing alone is nothing 
without a voice.
you can stand taller than Rockies,
or smaller than the insects that inhabit
them.
But you wont be heard without a voice.


only seen....

Evergreen reaching blue continuum 

Aloft and immersed gallery

Rockies, gems carved in mystery

Treacherous terrain variations

Harboring living enigmas

Late March tulips are in bloom,
And robins sing nesting songs.
The scent of freshly mowed lawns
Is caught within each drawn breath.
Butterflies flit and flutter
In this season of new birth.

Snow:  Springtime in the Rockies...

With all that in dusking's outreach
To fix her eyes on
What you'd think would therein be
Blaze-snatched, first to see!
Ere geese, more striking honoured
Solemn disappear.
Pale barked tree, wooded lakeside's.
Peak beyond; night hides.

Canadian rockies...

In the Rockies the Wolf returns
in numbers greater than expected
exceeding the comfort zone of mankind
population control with controlled hunts
from the flying heights of helicopters

Who is more of a threat to the natural order?
weapons of control through mass slaughter
the world zoo without the cage..........

September’s serendipitous serenade
Evokes the ebullience of ecstasy 
Provokes a prancing promenade
Tingeing the torrid leaf tips
Exacting an elemental excitements
Monumental majesty
Blue-black horizons blending
Exotically enigmatic exigencies
Ruby reds rollicking in the Rockies

On the Rockies fall 
The multicolor foliage
Impress every life

Yellow, orange, gilt
Scatter in green forest 
Cover on tan sward

Under the blue sky
The silky wind waves, swings    
The colorful land

Like diversity
Under same freedom rooftop  
Live in harmony  

Native, red, black, white
From the different cultures
Talk friendly language

Trees offer to mind
To pursue the own pleasure
Keep on private way...

For her backsplash style, I used cobalt tile.
Her sapphire eyes bold cast me away cold.
My heart dipped right to benitoite night.
Hot to drown in brew and sad boleite blues.
Yet I put on my new turquoise suede shoes.
My topaz car I drove to Rockies far
There to glorify in azurite sky
And lakes nearby of lapis lazuli.
I waited with tunes a celestine moon.
At dawn, cyanite jays curst me away.
And my sapphire blues at last I did lose....

 What a gorgous morning, 
I'll have to say, 
a wonderful start, 
to a beautiful day, 
with the sky so blue, 
and the glistening snow, 
with it's shades of hue, 
it may be only 20 degrees, 
but the spectacular view, 
will surely please, 
with the thundering rockies, 
and enormous pines, 
and the wild animals, 
of every kind, 
Craig, Montana, 
can steal your heart, 
you'll realize it, 
from the very start.....

Forced to make a decision,
This was not part of my plan.
I feel robbed of potential happiness
Those summers were so warm,
And full of existence.
Mountains bring into the open,
A sort of humbleness and contentment.
A zest for life, 
Found in a lucky few 
Who chose to live their lives 
with their heads in the clouds.
Never have I been so blessed,
With health, happiness,
Along with great friends and 
Endless smiles.
I will miss you, my summer love,
The Rockies....
