CANYONS
Canyons of time, canyons lost to our view.
Canyons wide and deep, carved by the wind
and sculpted by the rain.
Huge canyons, small canyons, all lost to our view.
Canyons with all of the colors of the rainbow.
Canyons with walls as smooth as glass and sands
that have never seen a footprint save for the animals.
Canyons with caves blackened by fires of long ago camps,
caves that hold the spirits of those who stayed.
Canyons.
Canyons to love in.
Canyons to ponder in.
Canyons of life and mystery and the unknown.
Canyons known in my heart -
Canyons known in my soul.
Canyons from long ago call to my soul.
