Picture

It's drawn with majesty unmatched
Against the morning sky
To greet all yearning hearts that rise
And seek the vistas high.

Each daybreak then we make our trek
Down verdant paths to beach,
And there we stand on golden sands
To see the mountain teach.

From shore to shore and then aloft
We feel the canvas soar
To paint a panorama grand
With Crystal Range allure.

The peaks that float on distant clouds
Their grandeur, mystery share.
Though deeper breaths now fill the soul,
Our smaller scale they bear.

The mountain's ancient presence lends
The air a certain feel
And primes the light with buzz and power,
The hike—its great appeal.

So every morning here we tread,
With dogs excited, too.
The vastness of the life we see
An inspiration true.
