Garden of the Gods

Garden of The Gods
By the Ecosavvykid

The Kissing Camels glow
Within the springs morning light
Where snow was once a king
And gave the skiers quite a fright.

Wet imprints, I touch carefully
Where there was once mounds of snow
I quickly turn to see a snake
That no one's ever known.

I see flowers, their roots
Deep in a tiny hole
And digging in the dirt
Is an old and tired mole.

I touch the Siamese Twins
Their sandstone hard as rock
I found a leaf on the ground
Torn to look like a sock.

I hear the robins, chirping loud
I taste the misty morning air
I realize that there is a fern
No one knew was there.

I look at the view, so large and
Ever more
I cry all the way home
And as I walk through my bedroom door.

I check again, but still, oh my
Nothing has changed at all
But now I found a passage
The trees have made a hall.

The Rocky Mountain Columbine
So beautiful and blue
I think I see some water
But it's only some Spring dew.

This park is such a pleasure
Even for pesky dogs
I love this park so much
That Garden of the Gods.
