Disciplined and controlled as martial arts
Deep within a spirituality of fine arts
Exercises the potential of human strength
When motions sculptured at great length
God’s creation is tailor made
Through His hands, sparks cascade
Beautiful lady in cheongsam clad
Poised in elegance, what a pride
Near Alice Springs, at Simpsons Gap, so happily hidden
Amidst the natural misty mountains dew
Where an aura of peace lingers and heaven lives
This magnificent beautiful scenery which truly gives
There, the tiny brook breaks into music sweet
Heralding the echoes from boulders, strong and steep
Where an air of enchantment, so powerful and deep
Penetrates the speechless and senses tweet
Tis, where the hopeful hearts long to be here for all eternity
Where hearts heal and souls happily restore to infinity
Away from the reality of humanity woes
Forgetting a world of war, treachery and formidable foes
Dispelling all negativity amidst the mist
Believing in peace, joy and love, truly exist
Where at Simpsons Gap, where hearts flutter and thrill in ecstasy
The spirit enlightens, amidst the mist
Upon Death Valley, we stood speechless
Looking through the mountains of boldness
Each colored rock of greatness
The scenery was fearless
Further down at Panamint Springs, we stood in quietness
Awestruck, a feeling of gladness
The cactus and oasis brought a sense of goodness
The desert was timeless
O! What beauty lies in the wilderness!
Our hearts filled with tenderness
At God’s boundless creation, so priceless
Will Humanity treasure this with Kindness?
Soon, to leave with sadness
In the log cabin, left a note with faithfulness
We will return some day with eagerness
To touch the grains of sand with inscription “FEARLESS”
Tis, a lesson learnt from the mountains
That in all situations, big or small
Hopeless, that may be but to remain.....
FEARLESS.....FEARLESS.....FEARLESS.....
On Mount Wellington, high above I stand
This magnificent breath-taking, this picturesque view in sight
With ridges, waterfalls, streams and creeks
The Rock of Ages 240 million years old, stood on site
A harvest of trees with branches bent in awe
Fauna and Flora, a part of it all
The feeling’s so overwhelming as I stand
The strong winds blew, my pretty hairs strayed
My face bashed, icy and cold, my body numb to the bone
My feet jellied on pebbles beneath the soil but still I stood in awe
As I see the shining skies glittering with silver and gold
Hobart, a beautiful city down below, with yachts at harbor front
And some in the sea of changing shades of blue
It’s all too wonderful, all too awesome
A witness to God’s glory, a scenery unbelievably so!
But sad to leave, it’s nightfall
My lungs fully choked with breaths of icy winds
And as I leave, my body shivered to the core
The Rock of Ages, ageless to withstand all ages, still stood firmly on site
Heroically guarding this magnificent sight for many ages more!
Yosemite!
O! How we love Yosemite
Speechless with
Endless, sensual
Mountains which
Implant a
Timeless
Eternity!
Natural and
Alluring
Trees
Inscribe
O! How we love Yosemite!
Never ending scenery
Awestruck
Landscape of beauty!
Park with
Awesome
Rocks of ages, aye!
Kingdom of fearless Immortality!
O! How we love Yosemite!
