Natural Beauty

Natural Bridge – Located in Natural Bridge, VA
Taken July 8, 2012

A gown of crystal flows at your feet

Unpretentious yet purposeful in its design

Your hard exterior shaped by the elements

Wind and water the artists brush

Veins of brown and green soften your skin

Giving life to those harbored within your walls

For centuries you have been looked upon in awe

A natural wonder bathed in warm colors

Ever evolving in size and beauty

Leaving your mark on lives touched

Splendid, majestic, enchanting

Character only the creator could have imagined

    I hiked to a natural bridge in Kentucky. I think you’ve captured the awe I felt when I first glimpsed it–even thinking about its Creator. This is an inspiring poem!

      I am glad you enjoyed the poem. I was there last Friday and the whole site, which also contains a waterfall in addition to the bridge was absolutely beautiful.

    Nice writing. I would like to go Natural Bridge. I’m in C’ville – not far away. I think your post convinced this is the summer to go:)

      Thank you for the kind words. I live in Arizona and was visiting family in Buchanan and decided to take the short ride over to the Natural Bridge. It was well worth the trip.
