Canyon

Who lives in this canyon

So dark and deep

Where ancient waters carved

Fortress walls?

It seems to cultivate

Gardens of strangers,

Vagabond players who camp,

Then move on.

 

I used to know every soul

In this valley

From high on her ridges to

Way round the bend.

But time takes its toll

As we roll ever forward,

Leaves only memories

To build upon.

 

There will be moments,

Whether here or hereafter

To recount the reckoning,

Review the views.

Patiently waiting alone

In this canyon,

No one to talk to…

Nothing to lose.
