Jasper in the Sun 2

Trees highlight Nature

in artful displays

dressed among strokes

of landscape green

cliffs presented

in sheaths of gray

afternoon clouds crowding

a skylight blue-

stream’s surface reflecting

diamond-glints aside

the highway

& Rocky Mountains

ebb and flow

like a tidal wave of mist

surrounding

an asphalt guide-

beautiful words caught

in our throats

 & strutting bighorn sheep

a holiday feast.
