Teton Reflections Poem by Chris Embrick

From Nature's palette, Autumn leaves
The winding river, mountains high
The silhouettes of towering trees
As sun rays brush the eastern sky
Mauve clouds to catch the sun glow
Bathes the valley, mountain peaks
Early snowfall in the meadow
Dusted aspens by the creek
Cottonwoods frame the shoreline
The canvas primed for morning's light
Hours before the lake reflected
The moon and stars of darkest night
Now the Tetons; tall, majestic
Above surreal as morning breaks
The water calm, Nature's mirror
Brings the sky and mountains nearer
Reflections in the tranquil lake.
