Layers of looming mountains Dwarfed by infinite distance Become a pearl gray mantle Framed by alpine green Ridges cut by empty stream beds, Lonely for water, Valleys filled with oxbow mazes Leading to dead, and circular, ends Twisting and turning Creating confusion Until they merge into the flats And dot the ground with pot-hole lakes Beyond a mosaic of deep green spruce Denali looms, dressed In virgin white, preens in bridal beauty Married to the land as she has always been Since time immemorial - Alison |

Absolutely beautiful poetry. ~*~ Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong. ~*~ |

Alison, you don't know just how much I need this right now. Your Denali poems stand out amongst your other masterpieces. Thank you, Alison. Owl |

Thank you all very much. I wrote this last fall as I flew in a small plane to Galena, AK (a small, remote AK "city"). I actually typed it into the notes on my phone as I was flying. Decided to leave it as I typed that day and put it out here. Love and Merry Christmas. Alison |

Reading that you wrote this while flying on a small airplane explains the fantastic compelling inspiration, dear Alison. I do enjoy coming back to this one, I adore it. Hugs. Margherita |
