grand canyon
I will show you wonders
4th of july • no way for this poor painter to capture this wonder. people myself included weeping at the sight
—David Wolfersberger
Come stand with me
on the edge of forever
where the multi-colored
shell of the world
has broken open
to reveal flying birds
of stone.
I will show you where
the wizards of time
put on their show
with ribbons and scarves
of rock, appearing
and disappearing again
on the elevator
of the void.
Here you can see
how the river loves
the land to glory.
And here is another wonder yet:
your breath shared with all life
for all time.
I will show you wonders—
if you do not for this moment
close your eyes.
