Analysis of Echoes of the canyons
Echoes of the canyons
stars drift across the timeless skies
deep contemplating silence
traveling moons in breathless breath
Waking knowledge of the universe
I will never know
echoes the stillness of the soul
To the fields beyond the gates
of minds yet to come
The light tempered by a shadowed moon
reflected on the canyon walls
dissolve against the liquid moon
Reflecting from ancient shores
carved by timeless winds
tanslucently awake to our presence
amidst the changing change
