Grand Canyon Suite
^ ^
From an abyss of the darkness, I hear incantation
It slowly ascends, sun awakening canyons,
Windward it heralds those sleeping, to wonder....
with a visual score, that deepens with thunder,
sweeping me under, to lighten the soul
-at first tint of light, my own shadow leans over, to hear a sunrise-
Between the chasms of a dream, comes a lark waking day
as she follows the river, and the splendor unfolds
Sweet sounds to exclaim, this is heaven, displayed!
Grand in the sunrise, all creation, beholds!
Closing my eyes, hearing trills to be awed
Suite bold enchantment, from thunder and drums
I will fly with the eagles, over lands of the Gods
and will breathe in each movement until my tears overcome
