Sierra Splendour
 
by Julie Jurkovich
Spring 2000
 
 
Sun descends
 
Liquid glory blazes
White hot
Golden
Amber
Burnt orange
Mauve
Dusky purple
 
Silver-edged clouds
Linger.
 
Dusk
Flows
Under trees
Up mountains
Reaches the sky.
 
Dark
Creeps from the East
Swallowing light
Enveloping the world
in Black.
 
But Stars shine brighter
One by One
They emerge
Sending blackness
of Night
to Flight
 
From East
to West
 
They
Declare
the Glory
of Above
As the world goes to rest.
 
Moonrise
Soft
Shimmering
Soothing
Silver Sea
 
Snow-capped mountains
Sleeping cattle
 
A solitary steed
Stands
Surveying spacious majesty.
 
Drifting songs
Draw the drifter
Home
 
Father
Friends
Brothers
Love
Laughter
 
Life
