Touristry The water rises Whoosh! Silence falls again The crowd dissipates

Undisturbed Silence and stillness deafen, Through dark and day Kept that way, Despite the roads That light the way There is still much land Undiscovered, Never to be uncovered

As I stealthily travel through the woods Looking for food Traveling with my pack My family On the hunt Looking for anyone who comes my way Looking for a meal&nbsp; Looking to stop my hunger So I can rest Before I have to do it again

Through patterns of weather, no matter rain or snow The beauty of Yellowstone will forever show. Born of fire and ice the park is a plateau Through miles of lush land, the wild bison roam.

The world’s first National park, On any continent, In any country. On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone Asserts its’ two million acres, Spans over Wyoming, Reaches through Idaho, Weaves through Montana. Preserving and protecting: Canyons, rivers, and forests. Homing hundreds of species like Bears, bison, elk, and wolves. Hosting visitors with open arms, The most dangerous of all the species, Because now the law protects from development and bulldozers, and corporations, and greed.

To the Yellowstone BEAR Who protects its cubs To the Yellowstone WOLF Who is always on the prowl To the Yellowstone ELK Who is waiting int he golden grass To the curious CHIPMUNK Who is carefully eating while always on alert To the Yellowstone PRONGHORN Looking like the meanest queen around

The darkest of skies Where the hunter becomes the hunted Sounds of death and life Millions of years that now live in minutes For the weak, the only certainty is death, which is around every corner It is a beautiful sight to behold It is Yellowstone
