Yosemite - Unnamed Falls by Robert Walton

Yosemite - Unnamed Falls
by
Robert Walton

Aspen leaves tremble within

The bursting arc

Of your morning flight.

Tumbling saffron

Explosions,

A fall of buttercups,

Parallel

But no less joyful,

Follow you

To the sea.

A wonderful scene of the simple things rather than the dynamic. Even the word - saffron. - is gentle. Lovely

A beautiful work of art painted with words. Thanks for the trip to Yosemite. I've never been there.
