Mount Zoaka by Moriana

Merit for March 2007

A vision of magnificence, made to enthrall and inspire,
All glittering with rainbows by the light of day,
Like a queen, Mount Zoaka reigns, crowned with crystal and fire.

From the southernmost reaches of the Basin rises her spire
Amid volcanic peaks that nightly spew smoke and lava spray,
A vision of magnificence, made to enthrall and inspire.

An artist's delight is she, whose dazzling beauty they most admire,
Though her lofty slopes have caused many a mountaineer's dismay.
Like a queen, Mount Zoaka reigns, crowned with crystal and fire,

Ever gazing toward her king, Mount Avechna, the only mountain higher
And more imposing than she, many thousands of miles away.
A vision of magnificence, made to enthrall and inspire,

She looms above a lost city of dracnari, whose pilgrims still aspire
To reach her summit and behold below the world on display.
Like a queen, Mount Zoaka reigns, crowned with crystal and fire.

Uplifted alone, a wonder and a mystery to the world entire,
She soars far above the ordinary and the everyday.
A vision of magnificence, made to enthrall and inspire,
Like a queen, Mount Zoaka reigns, crowned with crystal and fire.
