The Essence of Spring

shades of green
flood the scene
verdantly stream
my panoramic view

even Crayola
with its set of sixty-four
cannot score
the forest floor’s lovely hue

the canopy
filled with trees
skirted in tints
too numerous to count

dress the mount
on every side
where fauna hide
and flora bide

in shadows and light
of sweet delight
both day and night
curling up in slumber

or bursting with color
in the rising of day

©June 2, 2004

Inspired by a drive through Snoqualmie Pass

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I live in Washington... never been to snoqualmie pass, but I know that most everything in this area is just amazingly beautiful and from this writing I can see that's a place I should visit.
Awesome...  

Always, Alyssa
