Grand Canyon Mysteries

GiaB prompt #2 — the natural wonders of the world

Photo by Jad Limcaco on Unsplash

When I look upon your majestic gape I desire to know your past — today holds little interest to what once was Only then captures my imagination

What wisdom do these boulders hold from the days before their fissures How many millennium passed before you were even exposed to sky

Whose feet walked upon that land man and beast — together or alone before the earth trembled, cracked before flood waters tore a path through

Were your lands ever lush with forests or stretch for miles like African savannas while to the north land choked in ice or were you always so sparse as now

With all your grandeur and mystery today what secrets you must hold from long ago and if I could but breathe them in, absorb then I’d capture the wisdom of your soul
