Breathtaking beauty settles before my eye’s
Palpable is this peace in a land where air is thin
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Rage is visible in the irate tides
Of the Rocky Mountain rapids crashing by
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
With a scent of bristlecone pines
Drifting on wistful winds
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Over the ridge valleys rest in dark disguise
As shade is thrown down from heavens above
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
Eager for this moment to last, time I do despise
As stars align in a language read by gods
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Omnipotent powers string these patterns
That rest above great valleys in masterpiece
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies

Palpable is this peace in a land where air is thin
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Rage is visible in the irate tides
Of the Rocky Mountain rapids crashing by
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
With a scent of bristlecone pines
Drifting on wistful winds
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Over the ridge valleys rest in dark disguise
As shade is thrown down from heavens above
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
Eager for this moment to last, time I do despise
As stars align in a language read by gods
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
Omnipotent powers string these patterns
That rest above great valleys in masterpiece
Breathtaking beauty settles, before my eyes
While beaming brilliance, lights the skies
I was inspired to write this poem after stargazing in Buena Vista, Colorado.
