The Wave

When someone said one day, to me,
"The Wave is waiting, let's go see!"
I thought of ocean and I planned
To walk bare-footed in the sand.
But inland was the route instead
And Arizona where it led.
We left the car and hiked a ways
To where this unique feature lays.
The sight was mesmerizing so,
We took our time to get to know
A little of this atmosphere,
Where this rare country does appear.

It seems that once, in eons past,
There was a desert, high and vast,
That over time and exposed to
The wind and weather, slowly grew
Into these sandstone buttes and vale
Of strata, colored dark and pale,
Deep red and orange, pink and tan,
Developing since time began.
Resembling the waves at sea,
To swoop and fall, dramatically.
A sight so beautiful and strange,
That only nature could arrange.

Betty Lou,

I think you are going to have to thump me to help me remember the Lou part of your name.  I apologise.

Dear Marge:

I wish I could say I'd seen the Wave in person but it's all from reading and scanning pictures. Such an incredible sight
and history!

Love
Betty Lou
