I watch
Sweeping land sleeping
Under the blazing sun where
Prickly pear and lonely lizard are
living in eternal dryness.
I watch
Shimmering waters winding
Beneath towering cliffs of
Chiseled layers of ancient stone
Rising to the sky.
I watch
Crumbling boulders threatening
To topple and join their aging
Brothers laying on the ground
Eroding with time.
I watch
Curving sandstone opening
Windows with their wonderous
Views looking into God's mind
Telling his story.
