On Canyon Grand
Vast with grandeur Imposing scale Etched through eons Creating vistas Of wonder, Might, And majesty.
Almost unfathomable And yet, I see it.
Isolated From civilization, From other natural phenomenon. Beauty Carved in the desert Simply For the sake of beauty.
Incomprehensible To consider Its formation Until I see, A river.
One lone, Seemingly wandering Stream, Slipping silently, Sinking striations Through stone.
Seemingly impenetrable And yet, I see it.
Patient perseverance Directed carefully Over time Can completely Transform A landscape, A vista, A life.
