The universe carved
A statue sculpted by time
Beauty without eyes.

Zion Canyon Panorama — B&W Image by kenne
Mighty and dreadful are your tall columns here,
(through soul and love put you in deep shade)
for you outnumber man and outscore even life itself,
and you are roughly tied with God and, strangely, eyes.

Delicate Arch, Arches National Park — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Arches
Under a moonlit sky
Stone arches tower above
Millennia in the making
Thoughts swirl through my head
Faster than the wind
Eroding my essence, like a smoothed stone
Shaping my being, sculpting my sense of self
Though the age old rocks whisper back
Only silence
For Mother Nature cares not for the trials of man
I am at the mercy of the beauty she created
Standing before me
In perfect silence

While in southern Utah we drove through this beautiful park on a splendid weather day on our way to St. George, Utah where we would be spending the night before driving on to Las Vegas. More Zion National Park images later.

“A serene solidified sanctuary where
Sandstone towers seem like sentinels
Savoring the rays of the searing sun
Accentuating the red rock’s rusty colors”

11. Meditation Our life’s greatest challenges will be won With the spirit and not by the sinews At times next to you the Dance’s ghosts run Other times they can be found within you Smooth, rolling strides become my rhythm and rhymes Subtly pick open my heart and mind’s locks At peace, I'm inured to passage of time A slack-jawed Buddha floats between the rocks Sun-baked vermillion cliff, eternity Spirit of the wild, you are the portal Stretching out to you, encompassing me Melt, intertwine, these moments immortal Fallen angels, my soul is expurging When the body, mind, and soul are merging

Being in the right place at the right time
is knowing how to stay active and look around
as if it were your last day on earth.
It’s a wonderful world out there.

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, June 12, 2014 — Image by kenne
I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;
My friends forsake me like a memory lost:
I am the self-consumer of my woes—
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes
And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed

A few remaining clouds
sailed into the sunset
leaving behind
golden sandstone cathedrals,
soon to be dark silhouettes
against the glow
of desert night sky.

Court of the Patriarchs, Zion Canyon 2 comments
Court of the Patriarchs, Zion Canyon — Image by kenne
On this cloudy day
we rode the
canyon shuttle
getting off
at each stop
with family
visiting the
park for the
first time.
Concerned the
clouds might
diminish the
canyon’s beauty
soon vanished
as the clouds
began to break up
over the towering
cliffs of Navajo
sandstone that
form the Court
of the Patriarchs.
