PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Glacier has been so amazing (hopefully you surmized that from these rhymes)

but we thought this trip would not be complete 

without Going to the Sun Road one more time.  

After all the breathtaking views the first day…

we waited a whole day…then

we were ready for the next trip…once we could breathe again

The first trip was at six in morning…we were anxious to get there soon…

so the second time we decided to go in the afternoon.

We figured Na’pi  the old man who is the sun…

would shine his afternoon light

across his mountains, his glaciers and his streams

and illuminate different sights.

And the old man didn’t disappoint…around every turn a new surprise

It made me wish the words I write could keep pace with my eyes.

He lit up parts of his landscape we hadn’t seen before  

It was as if everywhere we looked…he opened a new door.

And once again as we tried to talk…we cold not make a sound

Suffice it to say it was even more amazing…

the second time around.

On the first trip we stopped a million times to take in every view

The second time I’m pretty sure we stopped a million…and two.

Once again I’ll repeat myself….the vistas were breathtaking

and the Aspen trees agree with me because they could not stop quaking.

I don’t know if we’ll ever be back here…before our final days are done

But I know if we do come back…for the third time…well be going to the sun
