While walking
within the quiet,
I was gifted
with the golden threads
of a Canyon Wren's call
woven into the air
between canyon walls.
Just that one long song.
Then I was embraced
by silence
again.

The longer I linger
in this sandstone canyon,
the silence that surrounds me
grows wider and deeper.
I'm walking inside a treasure
that you would treasure.
More than a national park,
more than another colorful
geological feature in Utah.
I am wrapped within a blessing;
engaged, enthralled, entranced.
Wanting to hold on to this feeling.
Needing to share this blessing.
