An Overview- a Pantoum

I walked up the rugged cliff for an overview 
I was benumbed at the spectacular vista
Of the sunset dowsing out the fire 
On the gorges of the grand canyon


I was benumbed at the spectacular vista
That was a delicious treat for my eyes
On the gorges of the grand canyon 
The sun caressed the warm ranges


That was a delicious treat for my eyes
I treasured the kaleidoscopic moments
The sun caressed the warm ranges
Walled by the steeply layered rocky desert

I treasured the kaleidoscopic moments 
An extravaganza of peaky rocks and plateaus
Stood firm gazing at the spectators gaze at them
The gushing ravines ravaged in the sun splashed gold

An extravaganza of peaky rocks and plateaus
Of the sunset dowsing out the fire 
The gushing ravines ravaged in the sun splashed gold
I walked up to the rugged cliff for an overview
