The Whole Picture

Author's Note:  I love looking at pictures on National Geographic and I found this one.  It's beautiful and I love way and time that this pictures was taken.  The reflection of the mountain on the lake is amazing and the colors in the sky at sunrise are so radiant.  In this poem I'm working on a better description for the picture. 

Matterhorn

The sun just begins to rise above

the horizon

Sending beams of pink, blue, and purple

in the sky

The majestic mountain stands tall

on the lake

Snow-capped, broad, powerful

like the kings land

The lake shimmers like diamonds

as it sits still

Looking out I see a mirror, reflecting

the sunrise, mountain,

and the sum of its parts
