My abode now in close proximity,
I make my way to Yosemite .
Holy Land of granite, waterfall, and pine,
feast of beauty for my eyes to dine.
Breathless in the romance,
I rest against a boulder.
Refreshing breeze grows colder,
whispering in my ears of Ansel and John.
Voice of tree, voice of time,
feelings left,
quite sublime.
