Stone waves frozen mid-surge,
vermillion ridges unfolding
like the ribs of the earth.
Bootsteps press into silence,
sandstone breathing heat
from centuries of sun.
Every turn opens another cathedral—
walls painted in rust and gold,
arches carved by wind and time.
Hiking here is a passage
through color and quiet,
where the desert
writes its scripture in stone
on a canvas of earth and time
spread wide beneath the sky.

Boots in desert sand,
a hidden canyon opens—
stone shaped into waves.
Hand upon the curve,
motion carved into stillness,
time becomes the tide.
Heat of noon above,
I stand inside the silence,
carried by the earth.

The Wave is a sandstone formation in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona.
It’s part of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, which is known for its striking geologic formations.
“The Wave itself was extraordinary. The realization that such a beautiful place exists, and I was among
the fortunate few to experience it, made it even more special.”
