Morning light settles
On the trail beside the fence
Pines breathe in the breeze

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.

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.

Known for its colorful swirls of slickrock, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is a sherbet-colored dream world
filled with fantastical rock formations like The Wave, White Pockets, and Buckskin Gulch.

The desert, the empty space, the drama.”

Find high ground

you will always see
her presence —

San Fransisco Peaks — Computer Painting by kenne
Driving south
near the edge
of the Navaho Nation,
snow-capped peaks
forming snow lines
in deep fissures —
I muse on
Bukowski:
“as the
spirit
wanes
the form appears.”

Capturing The Moment — Desert Dead Wood 2 comments
“Desert Dead Wood” — Image by kenne
“One by one her limbs succumb
to weight of vine and snow.
Winds blow hard, she cannot bend
her roots let go, she tips, and then . . .
her lumbering carcass comes to rest
amongst the rocks and flowers
in the understory of her youth.
Prayerful chipmunks eulogize.
Mulching worms and micro-organisms
tenderize what’s left of her.
Old molecules and rare earth ions
seek asylum in the rain, penetrate the hairy roots,
and rise up through the xylem of her progeny.”
— from Dead Wood by Ken Ingham
