Of Nobles and Kings
February 18, 2015
Pines grow with outstretched needles
Breathing alpine air of fresh sweetness
Up, away, they go!
Faithful subjects spreading forth,
through valley and up foothill
under the white, watchful eyes
of nobles and Kings.
Oh, how these majesties stand!
Seemingly unmoving,
unchanging through the ages.
Reaching for the waning light,
orange, yellow, pink.
In moving water, their doubles,
wavering, dancing, shifting in the flow.
The water tells the truth.
Not even kings,
last forever.

Wow quite good. Feels very old-timey with those exclamation points, a brave choice but it works well.
A poem inspired by a gorgeous picture of Grand Teton National Park.
