The Basins

Those perfectly hollowed bowls
scoured out of the granite surface
laying at the base of mountain slopes 
are true geological wonders where
the summer melt of winter snowcaps
gush their tormented track under
above and around obstacles of 
gigantic proportions.. Absolutely
nothing is impervious to the great
indomitable power of raging mountain
streams, reaming those bowls in their
circular conquest day by following 
day in a roaring, belching tumult of
command performance, a perfect
balance of nature's abundant
landscape features expressed by the 
dominant height of her mineral
eruptions, the exuberant growth of
her green forests, the accumulative
biosphere elements of sun, wind, rain.
