Poetry

Grandest Canyon

Artful crevices carved in clay.

Limestone, shale eaten away.

Drippings of red

turned pink from sun.

Blues mellowed,

by sunbeams shadow.

River forceful, muddy brown,

winds a course yet untamed.

Here today from yesterday,

a million years will see her end.

Preserved by man, most feebly,

his will no match for hers.

Her mother is;

the winds that bore her.

she is the rain that clothes her,

she is the sun that gives her radiance.

Her mother has made her mountains

and carved her beauty,

She has no bounds by man.
