The sun streamed like a waterfall
Ferns lit up in the glare
Needles sparked along the fields
that breathed the mountain air

​

Close upon a strand of flame
These eyes of silver blue
On a face so clear with thought
emotion simmered through

​

She spoke of city circumstance
Of gloomy narrow skies
She gazed up at the mountain sun
till tears bloomed in her eyes

​

A later dive with elegance
In rivers cooled by night
A body blurred and flowing free
through starry pools of light

​

As laurels blazed along the shore
Time carried her downstream  
In formal dress she drifted on
from earth into a dream 
 

​
