To live for some future goal is shallow.
It’s the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.

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.
— Terry Tyson

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.

And color my pages.

Mountains
ranges
with invisible
canyons,
with
no canyons.
Each
a pattern
of movement
carved out
and carved in
having built
as it destroyed.

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.

“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.”
“The Cliffs of Zion Canyon” — Panorama by kenne
Zion Canyon cliffs
Towers of sandstone forming
Majestic wonders.
