The Grand Canyon

It's been difficult to find the words, To describe the sights I've recently seen, Overwhelming and speechless, come to mind, When I think of where I've been. This natural wonder surely is, a sight to behold, I sat in awe, as I flew above, These patterns carved in sandstone, I truly fell in love. Nature in its finest, Beauty in its splendour, Open to the elements, Which haven't been tender. As the sunlight bounced off, The Grand Canyon walls, I watched it come to life, No words came to call. I gasped in amazement, I sighed with pleasure, That moment is mine, One I will forever treasure.

Hi Rick. It was spectacular. I still don't think my poem does it justice. Sometimes, things are so spectacular, they don't need words. They have to be witnessed. I hope you're well.
