There are moments in life
standing in the glory of nature
when I’ve been awestruck.
Humbled by her magnificence
at the Grand Canyon,
Norwegian fjords,
and Mount Fuji.
And once,
under whispering tall pines,
I felt the sun’s rays of grace
shine upon me.
Written for Quadrille Monday at dVerse, the virtual pub for poets around the globe. Today De asks us to use the word “pine” or a form of the word, in our poem of exactly 44 words, sans title.
Yes, in our travels we’ve been to the magnificent Grand Canyon, the Norwegian Fjords, and to Japan where we saw Mount Fuji. Photo is from about ten years ago when we were camping with our children and their children, in Mount Rainier National Park.
