Written on a visit to Lake Louise
White capped peaks guard the lake below
filled by years of falling snow
the sun comes over the mountain crest
mother nature looks her very best
Tree lined shores like soldiers tall
make an avenue to the glaciers fall
an eagle soars way up on high
it’s prey below, under watchful eye
Waters change to a diffirent hue
from emerald green to azure blue
the sun goes down and air turns cold
colours now change to burnished gold
Reflections make the water dance
this timeless beauty to enhance
natures song now fills the air
as birds and creatures meet to pair
As autumn nears leaves start to shed
falling gently to earth’s soft bed
winds pick up gales start to blow
fortelling of the coming snow
Snow clad mountains all around
now reverbrate to diffirent sound
joyful shouts from young and old
braving the ice and winters cold
Trees now heavy laden with snow
earth’s creatures hibernate below
temperatures drop the waters freeze
|as winter comes to Lake Louise |
