Majesty

Folks here in the Canadian Rockies

will tell you that they are ruled by

Her Majesty, the Queen.

But, on this vacation,

I have seen true majesty.

He stands erect and tall,

white head crowned with cloud,

snowy mane blowing free,

brawny arms holding

bighorn sheep, moose, chipmunks,

bears, cougars, and wolves.

He wears a kilt of multihued green

and dips his toes

in purest glacial streams.
