Canyons chiseled by rivers old Morning sun bathing mountains in gold Their peaks hit the sky Stirring the clouds ever so high Standing on the summit Dreaming I could fly Gazing down upon the rest of the world Trees with their branches Distorted and curled Cover the ground laying below me Seeming a carpet of moss All the way to the edge Of the ocean, it's water half frozen And a solid white I wish you could see This magnificent sight Sending shivers, almost of fright I'll always remember The end of this Alaskan night.
