Poem: This Rock Poet: Ken Jordan Edited By: Sparkle Jordan written: August/2012 This rock This Holy piece of stone - Bestowed upon the Pueblo People of the Tribal Nations by the Great Spirit, some seven thousand years ago - Gave way to a Ceremonial tribal gatherings to give thanks, honor and prayers to the Great Spirit for blessing them with , This Rock This holy piece of stone - The Pueblo People sang and danced as they held this priceless Devine and Sacred Rock majestically to the heavens - And on this day became the first known people to set foot on these hallowed grounds of the Grand Canyon - Their master craftsmanship of masonry showed in their Dwelling's - They built communities on this stoney "so-called," inhabitable terrain, constructed from This Rock This Holy piece of stone - Even now remnants of their craft still shadows the valley - There are caves on the face of the canyon ancient as time - And Ruins of Stone Huts in the Bottomland down by the river - Their faith, hope, strength, and will, reflects today from their past - In the solitude of the setting sun, one can hear old voices speaking in native tongue, Echoing across the canyon, carried by the silent wind - O' Great Spirit this Rock is your hand print - This Rock is the breath of YOU- And YOU bestowed This Rock upon a grateful and humble people - And they held This Devine and Sacred Rock majestically to the heavens - praising you for their new found beginning's - Their legacy lives on today through the new keepers of the canyon - The Hopi and Zuni nations - Who are master craftsmen in their own spirit... The Torch burns bright in remembrance of the Pueblo People, and what they achieved with a Rock- This Rock This Holy piece of stone -
