Zion Lodge Panorama In Zion Canyon, Zion National Park (September 14, 2016) — Images by kenne
My Zion
Stains across an aerie altar, white-streaked red
suspended above my reach, but not my sight.
Perhaps ancient titans sacrificed, honored, bled
now revealed in golden strains of morning light.
My Zion, my refuge
from all it is not.
Oh Zion, my haven
where solace was sought.
Did angels take wing from that lofty perch?
Does the stone truly weep for ages past?
When bygone men for food here did search
in the giant’s throne shadow cast.
This Zion, my friend
please show me how
Oh Zion, my Zion
if only time would allow.
Steps upon crimson sand and stone
as wind, water, eons carve and hew,
I realize my soul was still unknown.
for what was old is now new.

Zion National Park Majestic View — Panorama image by kenne
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.

Clouds Over Zion Canyon — Image by kenne
“Zion Canyon is the work of water
In concert with the winds that shape the heart.
One sees a grandeur equal to one’s wonder;
Nor can one be, but of such grace a part.”

Zion National Park Towering Cliffs — Image by kenne
The Real Jurassic Park
can be found in the
deposition and preservation
of Navajo Sandstone. Dating
back to the Early Jurassic
situated on one continent
was a vast sand sea. Extreme
winds created towering dunes
of pure quartz sand
dwarfing modern Sahara. Migrating
avalanches over one another
laminating the dune surface
thus becoming more stable.
Changing over time
by climatic cycles
locking stories of time into
Navajo Sandstone and
forming the towering
Zion National Park cliffs.

“Granite Angles” Zion National Park (May 20, 2015) — Image by kenne
The Granite Angles
of elevation and depression
looking up from my window
adorned by trees. A bird’s
song lost in its echo’s
I cannot scale. Lines of age
sketch your face. Tall trees
strike me as bonsais
taking root in your
weathered surface. Smooth
now, your peaks
penetrate the sky
and your cloud halo.
Your shadows dissolve
in a sigh of relief
bringing peace
to earth’s soul.

Deer in Zion National Park Near the Zion Human History Museum — Image by kenne
Shared Gaze of Curiosity
Generations of deer
have lived with
generations of humans
in the canyons we call Zion.
No longer prey for humans
the deers of Zion graze
near where natural predators
will not venture.
Many animals seem
to understand the show
providing for an occasional
shared gaze of curiosity.

Zion National Park Panorama Taken From Our Balcony at Majestic View Lodge (5/20/15) — Image by kenne
I still remember those majestic views
out by the balcony railing
in the shadow of the late afternoon sun
as I captured several moments
before darkness,
waiting for the majestic view
to become an early evening glow
when the world becomes mine.
