Exploring the Rose Lake Trail: A Poetic Journey   Leave a comment

Couple Hiking the Rose Lake Trail in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Painting by kenne

On the Rose Lake trail
two figures move together,
their shapes half-folded
into shadow.

The Santa Catalinas rise around them,
granite boulders draped in cloud,
pines whispering in wind.

I paint them in dark colors—
deep greens, muted browns,
the gray of stone after rain—

a palette of weight and hush,
where even their laughter
seems brushed in shadow.

Yet in the distance,
a faint light holds,
a suggestion of water,

a trail bending forward,
a quiet promise
beyond the shadows.
