Paula Swanson Poet Rhyme

Canyon Jewel

Deep within the Canyon flows,
a sinuous, fluid gem.
Speaking in whispers, deep and cool,
to ancient rock walls it skims.

Rusting Oak leaves set sail upon,
the back of this rippling jewel.
Past Hieroglyphs and forgotten caves,
to trade secrets in shallow pools.

Majestic pines lean over sandy banks,
as if to peer at their own reflection.
While the Willows weep, at the beauty of,
the liquid diamonds song, that's pure perfection.

Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2011 at 9:52 AM oh, yes, Paula, this also almost describes the national parks and canyon lands and forests of southern Utah, and I know you are not far from my state. Very nice to read. Thanks for your comment at my blog, but still some things are not adding up for me. Luv, Andrea
