Matanuska Glacier, Alaska

Upper Yosemite Fall, Yosemite National Park

Fields of white

Glist'ning bright,

Building mounds,

Muffling sounds.

Godhead shows,

In repose,

Nature's mesh:

Sharp and fresh.

Ice capped stream

Makes the dream.  

By His urge

Seasons merge

And

Drops of melt,

Hardly felt,

Clean and clear

Branch and bier.

Warmed by day,

Droplets play.

Water's rush

Ends the hush;

Nature's room

Comes to bloom.

Mt. Conness from Young Lakes, Yosemite National Park

Storm, Pacific Grove, CA

By His urge

Seasons merge

To

Fields of green.

Morning's sheen

Flowered bright

In the light;

Laughing breeze

Shakes the trees.

Granite shine

Brings a fine

Evening show:

Alpenglow.

By His urge

Seasons merge

To

Skies of gray,

Dimming day.

Lightning crack

Splits the black;

Lonely moan

Chills the stone;

Icy streaks

Lace the creeks;

Snowfall's crush

Brings the hush.

Glacier Point Ski Trail, Yosemite National Park

By His urge

Seasons merge

And

Fields of white

Praise His light.
