The Grand Canyon

A sky-wide wonder unlike any other National Park,

and marquee elevation everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Even as a child who expected massive, this was too much for me.

No one would dare go near the rocky area in the dark,

unless they want a conclusion to their story arc.

Life would crawl on the tall rocks, especially many a tree,

other than that, it’s a huge mountainous sea.

Folks would come and see the Copper State’s landmark,

even to the very core of its heart.

Those who go down to the bottom spot a river,

where one can have a swimming or kayaking start.

The rise and fall of the sun outlives the world’s greatest giver,

for nothing like this can ever force the people and the sight apart;

forever and always, the view will make a person’s spine shiver.
