Such beauty has been born from chaos here
at this volcano site at Crater Lake;
breathtaking, in the crystal sapphire blue,
that sparkles in the sun's majestic light.
For sure- explosive was that sudden crack-
when the strained earth decided to erupt
and spew the contents of its fiery dome-
create a scenic basin seen as art.
That cool, clear water, deep and very still,
reflects such peaceful bliss around the rim
of snow-capped mountains and attentive pines
that guard its quiet slumber through the years.
Volcano, will you wake to crack again?
Take back your gift of beauty- if and when?
