Zion

Adjectives can't cut it
When you're gazing up in awe.
Even photos don't do justice
To describe what you just saw.

The colors and formations -
Different every way you turn -
Are reminders that with travel,
There is so much you can learn.

I am humbled and I'm grateful
That I've had the chance to visit
All the beauty that is Zion -
(Here's my adjective) - exquisite!

:) I love the hymn...We're Marching To Zion...beautiful beautiful Zion, We're marching upward to Zion that beautiful city of God. This is a lovely piece, my dear. There is much in Judaism that appeals to me. I'm glad you saw what thrilled your heart. Hugs

Hey Eileen! The Zion I was referring to is a national park in Utah - it doesn't have anything to do with Judaism and I'm not familiar with the hymn. Still, I appreciate you reading and commenting, as always.
