Grand Canyon

Poem:  Grand Canyon
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/2012

I looked into the eyes
of God
at the Grand Canyon-

My  knees got weak
and I fell humbly
to the ground -

God spoke to me
Through the wind -

"Behold what stands
before you."

I stood up and looked out
at this sacred place -

I knew that this is
God's temple -

And as I walked
the south rim
of the canyon -

I heard the breathing 
of the whispering wind,

Sing praises to the Tribes
from ancient times -

I felt the power
of God -

mind blowing...
breath taking....
almighty -

I've seen it for myself
when -

I looked into the eyes
of God
at the Grand Canyon -
