Sustaining a View
Through a sea of pine trees emerges an edifice,
Sheltered by two mountains ever watching,
Beside a gentle lake formed by glaciers long ago.
Visitors are dispersed, full of joy and relaxation,
On green grounds that express their liveliness.
When entering this grand residence,
A state of serenity and seclusion arises.
The turn of the century décor shifts to another
time,
time,
As if exploring the ballrooms of the great Titanic.
As the guardian mountains envelop the sun for the day,
Bathing suits are exchanged for formal attire.
A euphony of classical piano and the aroma of fine dining is apparent,
While the occupants enjoy the nightlife experience.
The landscape outside is oh so still.
Dim lights on the pathways illuminate like the stars above.
A slumber eases upon the old place in the valley,
With the cascade of trees and the protecting mountains,
Concealing the location from an outside view.
A hushed and tranquil realm, eager for the next day.
