Ebenezer's Stone Statues

Who knew that "Hoodoos" were here
Where 50 million year old totems appear?
An 1875 find by Ebenezer Bryce,
Sandstone spires that engage and entice.
Human shaped pinnacles of sediment stone
Ascending from canyon floors, standing alone.
Paiute powers may stir the "voodoo" in you,
Haunting images, a native ethereal view.
Amphitheaters of thousands carved by frosty erosion,
Wondrous vistas conjure spiritual devotion.
Utah's National Park, let your mind touch a "Hoodoo",
Learn through nature and change what you do.

Thanks Tahira for you kind comments. Maybe some day you'll have a chance to visit Bryce Canyon and see the Hoodoos for yourself.
