I recently took a vacation to the Grand Canyon with my husband and wrote a few poems as I sat on the South Rim contemplating and soaking it all in. Enjoy!
Poem 1/ Prayer
A simple prayer
whispered into the wind
carried across the miles
that seem to separate
me
from you
"thank you"
hardly seems sufficient
but it is all I have
and as I breathe
in and out
I feel the wind
wrap me up
in your loving embrace
and hear you whisper back
"for you my beloved child,
everything."
Poem 2/ The World Turns
The shadows slowly creep
as the day draws to a close.
Everything becomes more vibrant.
The rocks are on fire.
Light and Darkness
Earth and Sky
dance together
in these final hours,
final minutes,
until the darkness
of the infinite abyss
consumes everything
so that the stars
can shine forth
in all their radiant glory
and instead of looking down
we look up.
Poem 3/ Wrinkles
Time has etched herself
into your face.
I've never seen wrinkles
more beautiful.
Poem 4/ Pachamama
The Earth is amazing.
Nature is strong
and powerful
and healing
and wise
and generous
and fierce
and stop-you-in-your-tracks
take-your-breath-away
beautiful.
No wonder She's a woman.
Pachamama
Mother Earth
Teach me your ways.
