EMIGRANT LAKE
A narrow dirt trail clambering over boulders
Surrounded by untamed grasses
Blossoming wildflowers
An explosion of a rainbow
Red, yellow, purple, blue, orange, white
The green gradient of flora
Rustles in the cool breeze
Approaching a trickling brook
And with a melodious symphony
Crashes over the side of a cliff
Forming a waterfall of crystals
From the clear and still lake
On one side
The meadow of flowers
Dotted with pines
That flows down the gentle slope
To that silently lapping lake shore
On the other
A dense grove of ponderosas
Shade the needle covered beach
Balancing the bright light of the meadow
The lake
Reflects flowers and trees alike
Reveals a mirror image
Towering peaks that climb
High above the treetops
Dwarfing the clean brook
A stark contrast to the wide-stretching meadow
Pure, titanium white snow
Covering pinnacles of rock
Pointing to the sapphire sky
Dabbed with spots of ivory clouds
