Canyon Reflections

Sunset - Eagle Point, Grand Canyon West

The earth finds pleasure

In sculpting

Its outcroppings -

In chiseling rocks

Of eagles taking flight

Or carving pyramids

Of red sandstone

Balancing them

On tiered layers

Of shale and lime

Each sedimentary rock

Wrapped in the blush of day

Brushed with gold flecks

Daubed in garnet

Rocky strongholds molded

Over time

Washed clean

By the heavens

Softened

Revered

Where ancient truths live

Where immortality

Ponders

And eternity ignites

A gentle fire

Glowing in thoughts

Like a first frost

Casting a deep reflection –

The embers

Like the silence of recollection -

Fonts of light

That cherish mystery

And memory

That vanish briefly

To make room

For those musings

That cannot be diminished

By time
