Sandstone Waves Frozen Mid-Swell   Leave a comment

Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Northern Arizona– Image by kenne

South of the Utah line,
the land ripples in stone—
sandstone waves frozen mid-swell,
a sea stilled by time.

Ridges curl like ancient surf,
wind carving foam from desert rock,
sun pouring light into every crease.

Here, the earth remembers motion,
even in silence,
and the hiker walks
through a tide that never falls.
