Homeland
by Maryvonne Martin
Alaska, the very core
Of the last untouched frontier.
A wild and snowy land,
Northern lights
Dancing across the sky,
Ponderous polar bears
Shuffling across the ice.
Spectacular landscapes,
Majestic hidden coves.
Scenic wonders of glaciers,
Sliding relentlessly
Into the frigid ocean,
Reaching far below
The wondrous depth of the sea.
Virgin wilderness,
Land of contrasts.
Glaciers and hot springs,
Ice fields and volcanoes,
Barren tundra and old trails,
Trading posts and villages.
Alaska,the apex of my heart.
