Sedona

The reds and oranges
blending high and low
melting into the ground
where the lake water flows.

Heaven must be here,
right here on Earth.
I couldn't imagine such a place
with the sun and the dirt.

My vacation slips by
quicker than I thought.
Taking with me
more peace than I had sought.

This place will live forever
in the recess' of my mind.
The sediments of Sedona,
a home I loathe to leave behind.
