My knee was a cracked hinge, each step a bargain struck with pain. The canyon walls pressed in, heat still rising from the stone long after sun left it behind. Halfway to the distant rim, I flopped down on the trailside bench— the slats grabbed hold of my full weight as if they meant to keep me. And then I was above it all— a...

Quote: Yesterday's joys are never quite forgotten for they live in our hearts, same way memories of past loves remain nestled in our souls forever... Inside my yesterdays I dip immersed in joys and sorrows I can often relive the moments of my youthful tide with satisfaction and great pride; Within the walls of Jericho I was baptized with...

Grand Canyon had never seen such a cloud. once-in-a-lifetime kind of whiteness dollops of whipped cream topping like no other before or since the rain was gentle, like a kiss I marveled that I was there To see this rain cloud in person No photo could have captured it....

Travelling along the time-carved corridor of life I filled the brimming bucket with buds of wishes, some withered, didn’t descry the dawn of the day, some bloomed, pleased me with beguiling flowers. One such fulfilled wishes was the journey I made to the Grand Canyon, incised deep in ancient rocks, exposing the geological record of two billion years, I was keen to...

Grand Canyon
Tremendous vastness of Grand Canyon, the earth drops away in escalation reveling rims of canyon elevations. River is slicing rocks exposing chasm of gorges. Chiseled by water vertical walls of rocks are descending into abysses. Canyon rims of mountains chasm, eroding and falling down in sediment and loose rocks. Sedimentary rock layers, walls of rocks towering at the banks of the river wonder of nature – Earth abruptly...

In western skies, an eagle soars, at ease. Below, the curving Colorado flows, Winding its way through deep and dusty seas Carving canyon walls steep, through tracts of time. Twilight to twilight, its myriad moods Are freshly painted on those ancient walls Like rich frescos of reds and tans and mauves In syncopated colors, all sublime. The eons are borne by water and...

Grand Canyon
Staggering, you blast out of the landscape, sea deep and laced with clues, the strenuous flight of Bryozoan creatures, their imprinted pasts forming a photo album of millennium as the ancient calm overtakes me when I touch your granite walls by your spouting river and feel only the effortless smoothness of your skin....

Grand Canyon
Walking by the close edge, I look downward - deep gorge, wide expanse of jagged side rocks. Huge cut made there by that river, I've heard. Show your husband; view will blow off dude's socks. Goats here like to climb shelves jumping stone blocks. Mountain lions stay in ghost haunts, they tell. Eagles glide the sky and prey on game flocks. Deep...
