Pictures, painted on my heart,
While traveling to the top
Of Canada’s Glacier Highway.
Two rivers meet and travel side by side,
Till finally, they merge.
White water races sunlight
Down rugged canyon sides.
Treacherous rocks,
Jutting from swift streams,
Await unwary rafters.
Trees, like an old man’s beard,
Stubble the mountainside.
Sand villages of wind’s design
Appear to be deserted.
Trains chug along tunnel trestles
Through granite walls.
Hills of slag stand and wait
For winter’s icy hand to grip the roads.
A tiny green church nestles prayerfully
Deep inside a green valley.
An antlered buck stands tall
Against a sagebrush landscape.
Communities of brilliant waterfalls
Cascade with a roaring rush.
Big-horned sheep families
Nimbly traverse jagged cliffs.
Mountain goats share the highway
With caravans of tourists’ cars,
Loaded logging trucks,
And out-of-breath cyclists.
Beyond pink-tufted plants
And carpets of dainty white flowers,
Hardy hikers climb steep trails.
Mountains, sculpted by ice floe,
Form the backdrop
For quaint little towns.
Then at the very top,
In a magnificence of turquoise,
Giant glaciers sprawl.
