The Indian princess owns the clouds
she opens and closes them
with the blink of her eyes
She casts a veil
of billowing clouds in the sky
as she slumbers thru winter
Come spring the princess awakes
and begins to reveal the secret of her home
A magnificent mountain named Rainer
the strong counselor of her land
The mountain commands respect
with it’s ominous possibility
The Indian princess cloaks Rainer with her clouds
sharing her secret when she chooses
with the blink of her eyes
