The Snowy Peak Poem by Ronni ManoaHofbauer

Wrapped in winter's purest white embrace,
The mountain stands in solitary might,
Where clouds caress its weathered face,
And eagles soar in golden light.

Each crystalline flake finds its rest
Upon the ancient granite shield,
While avalanches down its breast
Thunder through the frozen field.

Pine trees bow beneath their crown
Of diamond dust and silver sheen,
As twilight shadows tumble down
Through valleys deep, unseen.

The wind carves sculptures in the drift,
Creates cornices of delicate lace,
While moonbeams through the storm clouds sift
To dance on nature's finest grace.

Silent sentinel against the sky,
Guardian of the wild and free,
You catch the stars as they pass by
And hold them there for all to see.

Your peak defies both time and age,
Eternally in frozen sleep,
While writing on Earth's greatest page
The secrets that you keep.

Beneath your mantle, pure and deep,
The seasons come and go,
But you maintain your steadfast keep,
Forever crowned in snow.
