In New Mexico's plain stood rainbow mountains
High and erect as motionless giants
Reaching up their heads to meet the clouds
As they salute their Creator at day break!
With super-duper beauty the mountains displayed
Their rainbow colors of red, black, brown, gray, yellow, aqua and white
A rainbow yet unknown to human perception
As I groped for words to describe it.
On top of the rainbow mountains were rainbow trees
Of aspen with their fall colors of various shades of yellows
Mixed with the different shades of evergreen trees
Combined with desert trees of red, brown, gray, and dirty brown formed a perfect rainbow trees!
These two different rainbows have created an enchantment
That only God the perfect artist can create with such infinite wisdom.
In awe I and my companion shouted with childlike glee in thanksgiving
As we encountered beauty after beauty along the road.
The previous evening's ice-storm had created another enchantment and miracle
The ices on the pine trees look like a fairy-land; pure and clean like the first virgin Christmas
When angels sang the birth of Christ while shepherds silently watched their flocks by night.
The Holiness of the Salenas combined with the supreme beauty of nature,
Portray the spirituality and the nature of the inhabitants of this Holy place of long ago,
The people who took refuge under the shadows of these rainbow mountains,
And spent their lives in songs, and thanksgiving dance to its originator!
