In the Tetons
by Leonard M HawkesDwarfed by the sheer
Massive grandeur of peaks;
Inconsequential in the vastness,
Sterile sameness,
The grey-white,
Barren immensity of
Alpine reality:
And yet it is I who sees,
Who hears, who feels,
Who Knows, recognizes,
Reads the spiritual poetry
Of the mountains—
Absorbed in glory--witnessing
The Exultation In The Highest.

| Posted by George Hoerner on 02/16/12 at 08:25 PM Your eyes have fallen upon my favorite mountains and you see the result. For me it was love at first sight. For a year and a half I woke up in Star Valey and looke directly into Bridger Teton range. Beauty at the best. Nice write Leonard. |
