O Canyon (Grand)!

O canyon!...

of Bristlecone pine,
Earth’s ‘Deep-Time’
(open-book)
story divine,
in ever-changing
colors so fine;
and still ‘sculpting’
below...

O Colorado!

I've only been to the Royal Gorge...

I know it is but a heartbeat of the Grand.

Someday...someday.

I have been to the grand canyon, and your words capture it beautifully.

Secondhanddreampoet,

It's agood description of the Grand Canyon. I've been there, it's lovely.

However, I can never forget William Somerset Maugham's suggestion that it would make a great place to dump used razor blades.
