Katherine Stella Poet Dramatic Monologue

Grand Canyon Smiles

<                            How!
               I come to this place often
               to hear my grandfather speak wisdom in the wind
               even under swollen moon they say you can see his spirit rise
               high above canyons ridge
               telling a tale of sightfullness
               Oh tell me great eagle that soars
               why did he have to die
               now I feel like that of the caged crow
               with wings that have been clipped
               but I will live for another sun to rise
               to touch that of an doves feather

The Grand Canyon is such a beautiful place to visit. Love the line describing how the great eagle's wings had been clipped. Hope you have found your dove now. Congratulations on your win in PD's contest! Love, Carolyn
