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
I was inspired to write this poem after stargazing in Buena Vista, Colorado.
