      Red Rock Lake (#2)
  [Indian Peaks Wilderness,
    Rocky Mt. front ranges]

   mirror-perfect lake,
   red rocks reflecting
   near a setting salmon-sun,
   endless azure and amethyst
   cloud-fantasies surging forever
       over verdant pines
   that march along silver sands,
   'deep-timescape' slipping past ...
    Here, the mind, heart, and
    spirit are truly free
    and one with the infinite
        universe.

                --- b. e. adams (geo-poet/Romanticist) 10/15/2012

That sums up the feeling this poem portrays, even without typing in the words. The mirrored lake, red rocks, and the salmon sun, just paint an indelible picture in my mind. A poem of so few words with so many feelings.
