“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.

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.

We drove,
they flew
for a celebration
in Vegas,
hiking
in Zion and
a blast-off
to the next
forty on
Fremont Street.
