They stand
Like guardians
Sandstone sphinxes
At the gate
Of Canyonlands
A world of articulate geology
And exquisite beauty
Under ominous skies
Awash in golden sun
Like guardians
Sandstone sphinxes
At the gate
Of Canyonlands
A world of articulate geology
And exquisite beauty
Under ominous skies
Awash in golden sun
While I imagine pyramids
And Pharaohs
Slaves and Gods
In a dreamtime
Of human greatness
And cruelty
