The Grand Canyon

 The Grand Canyon

Climb a mountain down into the Earth,

       Follow the switchbacks down the great cleft.

              At bottom the inexorable current of the river,

                     The blue-green waters of the Colorado River.

                              Water, of little substance but of epic power, 

                                    For here an eon of torrents cut rock asunder.

The River speaks:        Enter the depths of your innermost self. 

                                                Find there your true purpose.

                                                       Live by it.

                                                              Let the energy flow.

                                                                      Your masterwork will manifest.
