Red rock formations
line the horizon
Carved long ago by
wind and water
Their names
changing over time
Sacred places for
ancient people
The air grows still
for a moment
Did someone sit
here a thousand years ago?
Was she in awe like
me?
A woman whose life
was tied to the earth
So different from
me sitting here
But perhaps more
like me than I know
Someone who had a
family to feed
Who had people she
loved
Did she feel a presence
sitting here?
A spirit that moves
through all
Connecting earth
and all living things
Did she feel it
too?
There is a strong link
to ancient times
I feel it watching
sun on red rocks
A bond with those
who walked here before
Perhaps some part
of them lingers still
Watching over this
sacred piece of earth
That connects past
and present
Bringing us closer
to God
