We’ve tamed the river
Far below
A dam built down a ways
Far below
A dam built down a ways
The Colorado
Takes a pause
Between a hundred million days
The Colorado
Takes a pause
Between a hundred million days
Nature’s patterns
Repeat
In scale
And context
A Martian landscape?
Or an Earthly detail?
Like here, where the fires burned
In Yellowstone
And the sky shone purple
Above the sun’s yellow, turned
But time itself wields no might
But for agents of change
Like the workings of nature and her creatures
I walk a beach at ebbing tide
And leave footprints of no consequence
Washed away in just a couple of waves
I am not alone on this journey
Many seek the limitations of their world view
Quietly contemplating
Looking out
Into myself
There are few things more satisfying
Than sharing something new and beautiful
With family
