Snow capped mountains salute my return as the mist upon them retreat
Birch sway in greeting while the majestic Spruce release their fragrance so sweet
Glaciers calved weeks in advance to delight my soul
Deceiving Bore Tides soon to escalate upon the shoal
Ocean breezes hold their place until I arrive to grace my face
Sunlight remains constant as not to miss a single view
Chosen forest inhabitants place themselves for their debut
Distant forests preen for my camera lens
Alaska knows I am coming, like an old friend
And I thank Her...

Dedicated to my dear ones, Bill and Michelle Jones.
Without you, this trip would be a different kind of animal.
